How can a woman wear the hijab and pray in a country that prohibits the hijab?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The hijab is an obligation that a Muslim woman is not permitted to remove except out of necessity. Prayer is the most emphasized pillar of Islam, and abandoning it is a grave sin. To maintain repentance, it is recommended to associate with righteous company, reflectively read the Qur'an, frequently engage in the remembrance of Allah and prescribed invocations, listen to Islamic lectures, and earnestly implore Allah for steadfastness.
