Can I take off the hijab to work and help my family?

Question:

My mother is ill and needs help, I would like to take off my hijab so I can get a job to help her. Can I do this?

Answer:

Hijab is a major obligation and one cannot ignore it simply to get a job.

In any case, it is possible to have a job while maintaining Hijab. In fact, if you put your trust in God and maintain your Hijab, He will give you success in your endeavours.

May God help you in your situation.
