The question

What is the ruling on a daughter wearing the hijab to please her father, and will she be held accountable for it? And is her request to her father to allow her to remove it only during the summer holiday – so that she may come to accept it and then wear it by choice – forbidden or permissible?

The answer

The legitimate has specific conditions and characteristics. If what you wear does not conform to these specifications, it is not considered a legitimate Hijab. You must wear the legitimate Hijab, even if your father does not order you to, and removing it necessitates accountability. The request to remove it is impermissible, and your conviction in it is not a condition for its obligation. Your knowledge of it being an obligation, your accountability for removing it, earning reward, and honoring your father are sufficient reasons for your conviction and compliance with the command. Hasten to rectify your intention to attain reward.
