Top 14 Excuses Made For Not Wearing Hijab!!
Allah has made wearing hijaab an obligation upon the woman as a safeguard of
her chastity and protection of her honor and sign of her Imaan. Hijaab is not a
piece of cloth on your head. It also includes that you be covered decently, from
head to toe, something not tight, or see-through nor elaborate. It is also a
manner in which you carry yourself….with dignity and honor…. that reflects your
pride in this religion of Islam. Unfortunately, many sisters have either given
it up completely or they don't understand the full implication of Hijaab.

I am convinced of Islamic dress but my Husband/Mother prevents me from
wearing it and if I disobey him/her I will go to the Fire.
Reply:
Does your husband/mother deserve more obedience than Allaah? Do you
want to please them while you displease Allaah?
The Prophet (pbuh) said, "There is no obedience to the
created in the disobedience of Allah." [Ahmed]
Remember, your husband/mother won't be there to answer for you on Day of
Judgment.
Excuse #4 :
I know that hijaab is obligatory, but I will wear it when Allah guides me to do
so.
