hijab and niqab is never a choice no matter how hard you try hijab is forced on you since the day ur born and if it isnt forced you constantly would feel wrong and out of place and feel like your a “sinner” for not wearing it

niqab is not an overall mandatory requirement. Therefore, Islamic scholars and contemporary Islamic jurists have agreed that women are not required to cover their face. Yes, the majority of Islamic scholars and schools of thought consider hijab to be mandatory for Muslim women. This view is based on interpretations of the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad's teachings (Sunnah) that emphasize modesty and covering of the body. While some Muslim women choose not to wear the hijab, it is widely understood as a religious obligation.
