What is the ruling regarding a Muslim woman residing in a land of disbelief, whose family are disbelievers, and who is subjected to harassment by them concerning wearing the hijab, and is unable to wear it at her workplace?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The hijab is an obligation for Muslim women, and it is not permissible for a woman to go out without it, even in non-Muslim countries. Harassment from family does not permit removing the hijab. One must leave work that compels its removal, except in cases of extreme necessity.
