The answer

A wife is obliged to obey her husband in matters of permissible disagreement, as long as this obedience does not lead her to believe something is forbidden or to abandon an obligation. The husband should strive to encourage his wife to wear the niqab and persuade her to do so within his capacity. We advise the wife to cover her face, as it is further removed from fitnah (temptation/strife), resolves scholarly differences, and entails obedience to her husband.
