However, the full proper veil will definitely be difficult for the Nafs of those women who are used to unveiling.
Question: What should a wife do if her husband forbids her from appearing in front of her brother-in-law, etc.? Some family members provoke wives against their husbands with comments like, ‘He is too strict, demand a divorce’, etc. What is the ruling for such people?
Answer: A wife must obey her husband. My
master A’lā Ḥaḍrat
رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَيْـه said: If a woman fulfils all the requirements of the veil, wearing
thick clothes that conceal every single hair from head to toe excluding her
face, both palms and both soles, then it is permissible for her to appear in
front of her brothers-in-law. However, if her husband
prohibits her from appearing in front of them and gets upset because of this
act of her, then in this case (due to her husband’s command) it will still be Ḥarām for her to appear in front of non-Maḥram
men (even when wearing a veil). If the woman does not obey her husband, she
will face Allah’s wrath. For as long as her husband is displeased with her, not
a single of her Ṣalāĥs
will be accepted; Allah’s angels will curse her; if she asks for a divorce, she
will be a hypocrite (Munāfiqaĥ).
Those provoking the wife into demanding a divorce from the husband are the
beloveds of Satan.
(Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ, vol. 22, pp. 217)
Wives that quarrel with their husbands over trivial things should study the following seven narrations, tremble with fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, seek pardon from their husbands and obey and serve them for the prosperity of their afterlife.
