The answer

If a wife removes her niqab because her husband wishes to marry a second wife, she has erred, because covering the face is a religious obligation according to the more preponderant opinion of scholars. The husband is advised to be patient with her, to pray for her, and to think wisely before marrying a second wife, for she may possess many good qualities, and a home is not built on love alone. Furthermore, her being influenced by others and her sluggishness can be addressed through mutual advice and understanding.
