What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding a fiancé divorcing his fiancée because she removed her hijab and abaya?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a woman removes her , she has committed a reprehensible act, and it is forbidden for her, whether she knows it or not. Divorce does not apply to an engaged woman. What the suitor said is not a divorce. If the woman is religious and removing the hijab was a slip on her part and she repented, then it is advised not to annul the engagement or divorce, but to complete the marriage. One must be wary of being deceived by slogans of freedom that contradict the Islamic concept.
