What is the ruling on what the questioner said: "This speech is forbidden, it is as if you are telling our Lord, 'Praise yourself, for I have dressed like this'"? And what is the expiation for this statement if it is wrong?
The preponderant opinion is that it is obligatory for an adult woman to cover her face and hands. The sister who does not wear full hijab should be addressed gently and calmly, and her words should be interpreted in the best possible light, as she may not intend to mock Allah's rulings, especially since some scholars do not consider covering the face and hands obligatory. However, mockery of religion or its rulings is disbelief. The caller to Islam must possess wisdom, patience, and forbearance, and avoid anger.
