If the purpose of the hijab is to cover the body except for the face and hands, then a woman must wear it, and it is not permissible to obey her mother in abandoning it, as there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. If the purpose is to cover the face, the matter is less stringent due to a recognized difference of opinion. As for a woman traveling for an obligatory Umrah with a trustworthy company, it is permissible. It is advised to strive to find a husband.
