Womens cloth - If her parents force her to go to a school where she has to take off her niqab, should she take it off in the street too?

I am a 17 year old who want to wear niqab. It is 3 years on school and
I am only in my first year. Should I take of my niqab only at school?
Notice that it would be abig problem too me from my family if I told
them I want to quit at school. Is it better to use it outside school
and notat school, or should I wait 2 years untill I finish school so
that I can use it all the time?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
It is obligatory for a girl who has reached puberty to cover her
entire body in front of non-mahram men, because of evidence thathas
been discussed previously -- see questions no. 11774 and 21134 .
There is no differentiation in this regard between the street, the
school or any other place. Wherever there are non-mahram men, the
woman is obliged to cover all of her body, including the face.
Secondly:
You have to try hard to convince your parents tolet you study in a
school that is not mixed, or a school in which you will be able to
cover your face, or to study by distance learning, so that you can
avoid falling into sin.
If your family do not let you do that, and they insist on your staying
in this school, and you cannot move to another school, then you have
to wear the niqab outside school, because that is what you can do. The
fact that you are forced to uncover your face in the school does not
make it permissible for you to do so outside of school, because Allah
says (interpretation of the meaning): "So keep your duty to Allaah and
fear Him as much as you can" [al-Taghaabun 64:16].
We ask Allah, may He be exalted, to increase you in knowledge and
guidance, and to grant you a way out and relief.
And Allah knows best.

An Easy Passage to the Next World

Those the angels take in a virtuous state. They say: "Peace be upon
you!Enter Paradise for what you did."(Surat an-Nahl: 32)
Death in a Virtuous State
Up to this point, we haveseen that sincere believers live a good life
in this world, are not overcome with fear or pessimism, and have a
healthy and comfortablespiritual life. Since those who believe seek
Allah's pleasure, we learn from the Qur'an that they have won His
special assistance, support, and protection; their misdeeds will be
removed from them and that they will be rewarded according to the best
of what they did; and they will not be wronged. Since they"purchase"
the next life in exchange for this life, they have made what the
Qur'an calls a "good bargain." Allah is pleased with them, and they
are pleased with Him.
But what will happen to them at the end of their lives? Where and when
will Allah meet them at the hour He has appointed for their death?
Neither believers nor unbelievers know where and when they will die.
This fact is explained in Surah Luqman in these words:
Truly Allah has knowledge of the Hour, sends down abundant rain, and
knows what is in the womb. And no selfknows what it will earn
tomorrow, and no self knows in what land it will die. Allah is
All-Knowing, All-Aware. (Surah Luqman, 34)
Together with this, the Qur'an informs us how death will come to
believers, how their souls will be taken, and what will happen at the
moment of death. As far as we know, believers experience death as a
very gentle passage, like a momentary change in dimension. Just like
the person whom Allah causes to be "as dead during his sleep" (Surat
az-Zumar, 42) and wakesup the next morning to anew day, when
believersdie, they will be taken out of the worldly dimension and pass
to the next dimension (Certainly Allah knows the truth.)
Allah announced this gentle and easy passage in Surat an-Nazi'at, 2,
where He points to the appointed angels and says "those who draw out
gently."
Another verse tells aboutthe angels' conversation when they come to
take a believer's soul:
Those the angels take in a virtuous state. They say: "Peace be upon
you!Enter Paradise for what you did." (Surat an-Nahl,32)
The following verse describes a believer's death:
The greatest terror will not upset them, and the angels will welcome
them: "This is your Day, the one that you were promised." (Surat
an-Anbiya', 103)
Clearly, believers who have led a good life in this world will have a
beautiful and easy death, and their life in the next world will begin
when they are met by angels. From thatmoment on, all of their
relations with this worldwill cease, and they will be sent to an
appointed place where they will come before Allah's Presence. As it
was from the beginning, so it continues: comfort and ease await all
believers.

Those who Ardently Hope for Paradise: TheParty of Allah

Allah has inscribed faith upon such people's hearts, will reinforce
them with a spirit from Him, and admit them into Gardens with rivers
flowing under them, remaining in them timelessly, forever. Allah is
pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. Such people are the
party of Allah. Truly it is the party of Allah who are
successful.(Surat al-Mujadala, 22)
Those believers to whomAllah has announced His promise of good news

-They believe and do right actions. (Surat al-Baqara, 25)
- They fear Allah. (Surah Al 'Imran, 15)

and captives. (Surat al-Insan, 8)

An Easy Accounting

After the believers' souls are taken gently by angelscomes the moment
of accounting, when all human beings will come before our Lord's
Presencewith all that they have done.
The course of events begun on the Day of Rising will continue with the
resurrection of everyone who has ever lived with a new body andtheir
gathering around theflames of Hell. Later, all of the witnesses will
be brought in, each person's book of deeds will be opened, and
everyone willaccount for what he or shedid in the world. After
this,all believers will be saved from the flames of Hell by Allah's
mercy and taken toParadise. The Qur'an describes the end of the world
and the believers' state on that day in some detail.
The end of the world begins with the first blow of the trumpet. The
world and the universe will be destroyed forever, mountains will break
into pieces, the seas will boil, and the sky will be destroyed�
With the second blow, human beings will be resurrected and gather in
one place to account for their actions. Everything they did, no matter
how small, will be revealed to witnesses and to the one giving the
account. This moment will bring a deadening shame to unbelievers, but
joy and excitement to believers, for the Qur'an refers to that day as
the "Day whenAllah will not disgrace the Prophet and those who had
faith along with him" (Surat at-Tahrim, 8)
Allah promises: "We will certainly help Our Messengers and those who
believe both in the life of this world and on the Day the witnesses
appear," (Surah Ghafir, 51)
On the last day, sincere believers will receive the book of their
worldly deeds on their "right side."Their accounting will be easy, as
the Qur'an says, and they will be considered worthy enough to enter
Paradise.
As for him who is given hisBook in his right hand, he will say: "Here,
come and read my Book!" (Surat al-Haqqa, 19-22)
Believers, who are to receive what our Lord has promised, are excited
and happy on "the Day of Timeless Eternity" (Surah Qaf, 34), and their
state is described as follows:
As for him who is given hisBook in his right hand, he will be given an
easy reckoning and return to his family joyfully. (Surat al-Inshiqaq:
7-9)
When they have given their account, believers experience the joy of
being saved. One verse says: "Enter them [Gardensand Springs] in
peace, in complete security!" (Surat al-Hijr, 46) This is also
described in another verse:
O self at rest and at peace, return to your Lord, well-pleasing and
well-pleased! Enter amongMy servants! Enter My Paradise. (Surat
al-Fajr, 27-30)
By then, Allah has forgiventhe sins of those servants upon whom He has
mercy,transformed their wrong actions into good, and given them
permission to enter Paradise. These servants say:
..."If my people only knew how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me
among the honored ones!" (Surah Ya sin, 26-27)
In another verse, Allah announces this good newsto the people of Paradise:
This is the Day when the sincerity of the sincere willbenefit them.
They will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in
them timelessly, for ever and ever. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 119)
My servants, you will feel no fear today; you will know no sorrow.
(Surat az-Zukhruf, 68)
In another verse, Allah informs us that "Paradise will be brought up
close tothe righteous, not far away" (Surah Qaf, 31)
