Should a committed young man leave a virtuous girl who is trying to be committed and loves him, but cannot tolerate some religious matters such as covering the face, and search for another committed girl whose family and behavior he does not know?
The questioner is advised to marry the girl to whom his heart inclines, while bearing in mind that she needs Islamic care and upbringing to accept Allah's commands, especially after marriage. It is emphasized that the ruling on a woman covering her face must be clarified with evidence from the Quran and Sunnah, and she should be reminded of the lives of the female companions (Sahabiyat). The opinions of family members that contradict Islamic law should not be heeded. If the wife does not respond, it is advised to be patient with her and try to convey the Islamic ruling to her through female callers to Islam (da'iyat) or reliable scholarly books, while seeking assistance from Allah Almighty.
