What should a husband do with his wife who refused to wear modest clothing after her conversion to Islam and their marriage, despite their prior agreement on that, and is he sinful if he continues with her in the marital life?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A husband must obligate his wife to wear the Shar'i , and he should approach her with persuasion, advice, and gentleness, proceeding gradually. If she does not comply willingly, he has the right to compel her and prevent her from going out without a hijab. It is not permissible for the wife to disobey her husband in this matter. If she disobeys him and insists on unveiling, then divorcing her is better.
