A Muslim woman must adhere to it in obedience to Allah and His Messenger, because it is a divine command about which she has no choice, as Allah Almighty says: "And it is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair."
