Marrying a woman who does not wear the Islamic dress

391

Q 2: What is the ruling on a man who married a woman who does not wear the proper Islamic dress? Will he bear the sins of her showing off her charms even though he advises her not to do this? Can he divorce her because she does not adhere to the proper dress code although she knows about it and regards it as an obligation?

A: The husband should continue advising her in a good manner in order that Allah (Exalted be He) might guide her and grant her success. If he does his best in advising her, there will be no harm on him. However, if she insists on this evil act, the husband has to divorce her. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
