The guardian (wali) or husband must compel the woman to wear the hijab if she does not comply with advice, based on Allah's saying: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire" and Allah's saying: "Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has preferred some of them over others and by [right of] what they spend from their wealth."
