The Ruling concerning the Muslim woman who prays and fasts but does not wear the Hijaab
Posted by Inspired Muslimah at 10:35 PM
Her fast and her prayer are correct and all praise is for Allah. But she must repent for abandoning the wearing of the Hijaab. Disobedience does not invalidate her prayer or her fasting. Not wearing the Hijaab, speaking in a way that is not good like backbiting or slandering then this does not invalidate her prayer but it does decrease her Imaan (faith) and weakens it. She must repent to Allah for that. Likewise the wearing of the Hijaab, not wearing it in front of men is disobedience but her fast is not invalidated nor her prayer. Rather she must repent for it. Not wearing the Hijaab is considered a weakness in Imaan.
Likewise other things such as backbiting the people or doing something from the acts of disobedience, etc all of this is a deficiency and weakness in Imaan. When she performs the prayer with its conditions and obligations on time then her prayer is correct. Likewise her fasting when she fasts from what is forbidden to her and performs it the way it should be then her fast is valid. When she performs the obligations but then she does some forms of disobedience there is deficiency in her act of fasting such as backbiting, lying and the like. It is a deficiency in her fasting and weakness in her religion.

Great post, sis! See, you taught me something I did not know (that your prayers are accepted without you wearing your hijab daily).
Be strong my sister, everything will fall into place, InshaAllah!
Empress Anisa: Insha'allah sister! thanks! I learned something new also.
ASA sister, I am also struggling with wearing hijab and I so appreciate your post here. Insha'Allah I will find the strength and courage to go for it..Thanks
