Q: I am about to get married in few days. The girl who is going to be my wife (In shaa allah) doesn’t follow Islamic dressing and hijab. I did talk to her about this in front of her mehram, she says she’ll follow it once it comes from her own heart and it shouldn’t be forced upon her.I know this will be a sensitive matter after our wedding as she might think that i am forcing hijab on her. So please guide me, after my marriage how do i make her dress in islamic way without forcing it upon her as forcing is forbidden in islam.
A: Start off with daily taleem at home and firmly practise yourself.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
