The answer

The is a symbol of modesty, chastity, and purity. It is a command from Allah Almighty, and a Muslim woman must adhere to it, as stated in the verse: "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. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error." Allah commanded His Prophet to order his wives, daughters, and the believing women to wear the hijab in His saying: "O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments." Whoever disobeys Allah and transgresses His limits exposes themselves to His punishment, as stated in the verse: "And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and transgresses His limits - He will admit him to Fire, abiding eternally therein, and he will have a humiliating punishment." The punishment for not adhering to the hijab is that sound souls will scorn her, and those with weak souls will covet her, because she belittled the commands of Allah.
