Is it a condition for wearing the niqab to have the approval of the parents, or the husband for a married woman, and is wearing it without their approval considered an act of disobedience?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Wearing the niqab varies in its obligatory nature among scholars. For a woman who believes the niqab is obligatory, there is no obedience to her parents or her husband in abandoning it, and she incurs no sin by disobeying them.
