Is it permissible to delay wearing the hijab while being close to God and performing acts of worship? And will the repentance of a sinful woman be veiled due to a previous repentance? And is it permissible to repay a debt in installments without knowing the exact amount, and in a way that preserves modesty?

A woman's covering of her body with the prescribed Islamic dress is a firm obligation from Allah, and adherence to it is an immediate duty that is not contingent upon the payment of any sum. One must hasten to wear the hijab and not procrastinate. As for the money taken from the company, effort must be made to estimate its value, and then it must be returned to the company owners through indirect means (such as depositing it into their account, or via a transfer, or as a gift). It can be paid in installments if it is difficult to pay it all at once.
