Is it obligatory for a wife to seek her husband's permission before wearing the niqab, or should she present him with a fait accompli, especially if she feels she does not need it due to her lack of excessive beauty, or out of fear of wearing it for show or ostentation?

The ruling regarding wearing the niqab has been previously explained. Therefore, a woman should strive to purify her intention in wearing it. She may choose to initiate a conversation with her husband about the niqab or request her mother to send her a niqab.
