Is the woman who does not wear the niqab sinful because of her parents’ rejection of it, and because women who wear the niqab are harmed at her university, and should she obey her father who believes she should postpone wearing it until after graduation or marriage?
It is permissible to remove the niqab to avert harm, by emulating those who do not deem it obligatory, and in obedience to the father, and to avoid detriment until the questioner graduates from university or gets married. There is no sin upon her, God willing.
