Is it permissible for a husband to force his wife to wear the hijab with the intention of humiliating her, knowing that she intends to wear it later?
A Muslim woman must adhere to the immediately, and it is forbidden for her to hesitate in doing so, for Allah (the Most High) says: "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." The husband must command his wife to wear the hijab, and this is a requirement of his guardianship, for Allah (the Most High) says: "Men are in charge of women." If the husband commands you to wear it, obedience to him is obligatory, as long as his command is for what is good. However, if he asks you to remove the hijab, then there is no obedience to him, because "there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator."
