Is having an abortion at 7 weeks permissible due to the husband's physical and mental abuse towards the wife, including cheating, lying, and causing emotional distress, if the wife is concerned about the safety of the baby and her own mental health?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No. Abortion is killing a human being in early formation. Abortion is not permissible at all except in the case of saving the life of the mother if pregnancy can kill her.

Why are women required to cover themselves while men are not? Additionally, why are men permitted to have up to four wives whereas women can only have one husband?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

We believe in Allah's absolute Wisdom and Knowledge and Mercy,b that is why we never argue with any rule from Allah. We know that He Knows all the reasons even if we don't know. Real believers submit to all the rules which came from Allah (SWT) through His Messenger (SAWA).

We might know part if the reason but can never expect knowing full reason because of our limitations as human beings.

Woman covering her body might be related to the fact that woman in her nature is more attractive to men, that is why she needs to cover herself.

Can a father or a husband or any other individual oblige a woman to wear the Hijab? If she refuses to wear it can a father, for example, ground her?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

Hijab is an obligation, and it is obligatory for every Muslim man and woman to observe their hijab, according to the boundaries and requirements of dress code set for each gender.

It should not need to reach any form of punishment, because the Muslim should be proud and honoured to implement and practice his/her faith.
