It is fard to cover whole body including the face. What if my parents don't let me cover face?
Question
Assalmau Alikum I read that it is fard to even cover the face. As soon as the verse was revealed, the mothers of the believers cut out their aprons and started to cover.What if my parents don't let me wear a borkha and not even cover my face then also make me go to a mixed school.Is it permissilble for me to cover, even if it hurts their feelings and it can also lead to a bad relationshiip.Allah also said that if parents are displeased then He is also displeased, right? Can you please advice me for the sake of Allah(SWT).Jazak Allah Khair!

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'There is no obedience of any creation in the disobedience of Allah.'
In view of the aforegoing, you should not follow your parent's un-Islamic wishes. However, you should apply wisdom and diplomacy in conducting yourself in such sensitive matters.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
