Must a university student abandon her intention to wear the niqab for fear of not finding job opportunities after graduation, or for fear of not adhering to it later?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The niqab is an obligatory duty upon women, and it is not permissible to delay covering the face and hands. No attention should be paid to those who oppose this, claiming worldly obstacles, for pleasing Allah is paramount. A believer has no choice when it comes to the decree of Allah and His Messenger. Allah is the Provider and Guarantor for whoever fears Him and obeys His commands, and there is no need to worry about sustenance, for it is guaranteed for every soul.
