Question:
Wanting to wear a headscarf but family says other people have disgraced the name so you cannot wear it and I only want to do it for my self and Allah but I can’t not listen to my family and they also say you don’t have to wear it if your heart is clean but I think its a necessity. What shall I do?
Answer:
When a girl reaches puberty, she has to cover her aurat (which includes her hair). You don’t have to wear a cover in front of your family; or, if you like, wear it as a fashionable item so that it doesn’t look as if you’re covering your hair, to avoid problems with your family. Allah knows your intention and in sha Allah He will make it easy for you.
