I am a 22 year old Muslimah. I have been observing hijab, and
practicing Islam consciously for the past 4 years, alhumdulillah,
despite family objections towards my decision. Shortly after embracing
the hijab, I developed migraines. Now my migraine is so severe that I
cannot perform daily tasks, without having an attack. This is making
me very ill and weak. I have tried wrapping in different ''styles'' to
see if my migraine will improve, but it does not help. MY migraine
attacks are highly frequent, and I feel it has sadly become a burden
on me. 9/10 times I will have a severe attack after wearing hijab. The
strength of effects is also worsening, I also get extremely nauseous,
dizzy and lethargic. I have made an appointment with my doctor to see
if there is anything to help me. I have had a blood test for this
previously, and Alhumdulillah it is clear. Now I fear there is nothing
the doctor can prescribe me, that will make my health better. I would
like to know the Islamic perspective on this ~ in such cases, would it
be permissible to remove the hijab?

His command throughout such trials, their reward is truly with Allah.
Removing the hijab in front of non-mahrams would not be permissible,
do not allow yourself to be pressured into doing so. My advice would
be for you to find cotton hijabs which come in both one piece and two
piece styles, the one piece seems like it would give you the most ease
� both are light, not tight, and require no pins. Ask for the
�Amira-style� or �cotton 1 or 2 piece hijabs� at your local Islamic
store or search online.

Also: have you tried a traditional homeopath to treat your migraines?
May Allah give you shifaa and afiya, Ameen.
And Allah knows best.
Wassalam,
