Is it permissible in Islam for a Hijabi influencer to engage in activities such as doing makeup, taking aesthetic photos for social media collaborations, and teaching makeup and modest clothing styling?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Muslim Hijabi female is allowed to engage in every lawful activity which helps people provided it does not contain or promote or encourage harmful (sinful) acts in her behaviour or the behaviour of others.

As an artist, if I create a commissioned piece depicting a non-Hijabi woman with exposed skin and it gains admiration, would that be considered sinful? Additionally, would earning money from such a painting be deemed Halal?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is not permissible to display or show a non Hijabi female for males who are not allowed to look at her. Money earned from sinful act is not allowed.

Are there any narrations that mention the rewards in paradise for women who wear Hijab?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Women wearing full Hijab will be in the Paradise because they have obeyed Allah, the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS). We have many Hadeeths about the sever punishment of women who expose their hair or body and don't observe Hijab especially in Hadeeth al-Mi'raaj in which the Prophet (SAWA) was shown the punishment of women who were not wearing Hijab and how they were been hanged in the Hellfire.

Is wearing Hijab obligatory for Muslim women? If so, does it imply disobedience to Allah and potential punishment? What are the consequences? Could you provide some Hadith or Quran verses to clarify this matter?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes with out any doubt, Hijab is obligatory on Muslim women according to concrete evidence in Quran and authentic Hadeeths. Ignoring wearing full Hijab is a sinful act because it means disobeying the orders of Allah (SWT) and it might result in a potential punishment. The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and his daughter Fatima (AS) have emphasized on Hijab as the best behaviours for a Muslim woman.
Details of Quranic verses and Hadeeths in this subject can be found in many books available in the Internet and articles on many websites including this website www.al-Islam.org.

Among many Quranic verses, I mention as an example the Verse 31 in Sura An-Noor  and the verse 59  in Sura Al-Ahzab.

Among many authentic Hadeeths on Hijab subject I mention as examples : 1. Hadeeth from Imam Al-Ridha (AS) stating that Hijab is compulsory on Muslim women. Al-'Illa by Al-Sadouq, page 565.

2. Hadeeth from Imam Ja'far Al-Sadiq (AS): It is not allowed for a man to look at a woman except her face and hands and feet. Al-Kaafi, volume 5, page 521.

3. Hadeeth from Imam Mohammad Al-Baqir, Al-Kaafi, volume 5, page 532.
