The answer

Congratulations on being guided to Islam, which is a great blessing that requires gratitude from the heart, tongue, and limbs. The hijab is an obligation upon Muslim women, and it is not permissible to remove it or be negligent concerning it. If visiting parents necessitates removing the hijab, then this is considered obedience to the created in disobedience to the Creator, which is not permissible. It is advised to be patient and to communicate with parents through various means of communication, for religion is the most precious possession a Muslim has. It is also advised to seek a righteous husband who will help in matters of religion, and it is legally permissible for a woman to seek out husbands.
