The hijab

Surely we can break the speed limit and kill someone without being forced otherwise?

What does that have to do with choosing to not wear a hijab :/

The shaytaan is making you feel like this, that you should neglect the hijab don’t let him defeat you. Seek refuge in Allah from the shaytaan. You’re stronger than this.

No - she's made a choice. No-one is 'making' her feel like this. She is choosing, because she has free will.

You know your parents better than us. If you’re confident they won’t disown you, beat you or kill you for taking it off then I’d say go for it. Ditch that oppressive cloth.

So if your parents hit you or force something, you cannot do anything about it? There are bad parents out there and we can’t know for sure what OP parents are like?

Wearing the hijab to pay back your parents deviates from the point of wearing a hijab. If she’s not happy with it, there’s no point in her wearing in it- I’m sure she can show her faith in another way

Then the parents arent treating her well and thus we deduce that she is not required to listen to them. However this is not the case as the parents are clearly not beating her, which is for some reason always associated with the hijab.

That depends on whether she is religious because her parents or if she actually believes.

Is there a reason why you no longer want to wear it? Do try to gain some knowledge and understand why women wear it and are told to dress modestly before making a decision. There is no need to feel scared to tell your parents you shouldn’t be forced to wear it just tell them why you no longer want to wear it and hopefully they should understand you

This is because we've had a huge number of posts from abused and scared muslim children who are mistreated at the hands of their parents after the child makes a choice which the parents disagree with, based on religious zealotry.

True. But your earlier post implied that she should wear it because her parents have looked after her, which is wrong.

If she is only religious because her parents her then there is no need. If she is religious she should wear it for her religion and also to respect her parents.
