Is the prayer and supplication of an unveiled girl who gives charity and does good deeds accepted, while she desires to wear the hijab but is hesitant?
A Muslim woman must adhere to the hijab and conceal her adornment except for what is apparent, and except for the maharim (unmarriageable kin) mentioned in the Qur’an. She should also remain in her home and avoid displaying her adornment (tabarruj). A woman who does not wear the hijab or who displays her adornment is warned that she will be deprived of Paradise, and she is described as cursed, a hypocrite, and an adulteress. However, her display of adornment does not prevent her supplication from being answered or invalidate her prayer, provided that she covers her entire body except for her face and hands. A Muslim woman must fear Allah and adhere to the teachings of Islam, ask Allah for guidance, come to know Allah more by reading the Qur’an and seeking religious knowledge, and establish righteous companionship.
