Does preventing one's daughter from wearing the niqab count as disobedience to parents, and what is the way to convince them of it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The niqab is necessary in this era due to people's corruption and the weakness of religious deterrents. It is not permissible to obey parents if they command its removal, because "there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator."
