Obedience to the Husband in Removing the Hijab

Question
Is it permissible to obey the husband regarding clothing? He does not want her to go out in the jilbab, and she cannot wear pants and a shirt as he wants; because she has been wearing a jilbab since she was young and her family is committed, and she cannot obey him in this clothing?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: It is not the right of the husband or anyone else to prevent wearing the lawful attire. His wife has the right to choose the most appropriate lawful clothing that provides more coverage. There is no doubt that the jilbab is one of the best lawful garments. You should talk to your husband repeatedly to resolve the issue and seek the help of righteous people in this matter. However, there is no obedience to the husband in disobedience to God. And God knows best.
