Fathwa, - Does someone who does not wear hijab go to hell?

Question:
If a girl doesn't wear hijab, does it mean that she will go to hell
even if she offers Salat, reads Quran regualrly, acts decently,
doesn't look at boys, doesn't gossip/babckbite etc? Will not wearing
hijab condem her to hell despite all her good attributes?
Answer:
The hijab is obligatory. Leaving the obligatory makes one sinful and
liable to being punished by Allah. Doing the obligatory, with the
intention of obeying Allah and seeking His pleasure, is an act of good
and deserving of eternal reward in the Hereafter, and an increase in
one�s spiritual rank�good in this life and the next.
While disbelief and rejection of faith leads to eternal punishment in
Hell, sins do not. Sins make one deserving of Allah�s punishment for a
period of time in Hell, but this punishment is not eternal. Nor does
it necessarily follow that one will be punished for every sin: Allah
can forgive any sins, even major, and good deeds and other matters can
wipe away sins.
It is obligatory to repent from sin. When one is weak, one should at
least turn to Allah and ask for the strength to do what is right, out
of a desire to seek Allah�s pleasure, and to be of those who love
Allah�for the lover seeks to obey the wishes of their Beloved in all
things.
And Allah alone gives success.
