What is the ruling on a committed girl refraining from wearing trousers or shirts inside the house and avoiding adornment, especially when her male relatives who are forbidden to her [for marriage] enter, and what is the ruling on her attending parties in clothing that violates religious law at the request of her parents?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The girl's parents are advised to fear Allah. What they instruct their daughter to do, such as wearing trousers in front of non-mahram men or attending public parties, is forbidden and reprehensible. It is not permissible to obey them in this matter, for obedience is only in what is right and lawful. The girl should be patient and seek her reward from Allah. She should not obey her parents in what they desire. She should also use various means to convince them, such as a beneficial book or an influential audio recording, connect them with righteous people, and be wise and gentle in her speech.
