The is obligatory for a woman in front of non- men. It is not permissible to be lenient with Allah's obligations to please creatures or out of fear of their blame. Rather, a Muslim woman should be proud of her religion and uphold the command of her Lord. For whoever seeks Allah's pleasure, even if it displeases people, Allah will suffice him against the burden of people. And whoever seeks people's pleasure, even if it displeases Allah, Allah will entrust him to the people.
