The Command of Hijab for Adults

Question
Should parents force older children to pray and for girls to wear the hijab?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: This is part of enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and it depends on the ability of the person. It is obligatory for parents to command their children to pray and wear the hijab when they reach maturity, and to discipline them regarding this if they are able. And God knows best.
