If a person's wife/sister/mother doesn't observe purdah, what is the shariah ruling
Question
If a person's wife/sister/mother doesn't observe purdah, what is the shariah ruling about them, especially if someones' wife doesnt follow the purdh rulings of ISLAM?
Answer
One should try to educate the wife in obseving purdah, explain the benefits and let her talk to other Muslimah who wear purdah, and how they feel about it. Make dua for her and help her out in trying a purdah on at times. Continuously encourage her, but do not be vigorous as this will only make matters worse.

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.
