Persistence on neglecting the Hijaab justifies breaking the engagement
I would like to break my engagement to my cousin because she persists on neglecting the Sharee‘ah-approved dressing manner. She wears clothes that are disapproved by Sharee‘ah. I discussed this matter with her repeatedly but I no longer have hope that she will respond.

As far as we understand from the question, you proposed to a woman who was not adherent to Hijaab, and when you tried to convince her to wear it, she wore a Sharee‘ah-disapproved form of Hijaab. If it is the case, you were wrong when you got engaged to a woman who was neglecting the Sharee‘ah-approved Hijaab and forgot the Hadeeth in which the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, says: " Religiousness should be the first criterion when a Muslim chooses a wife. A woman who neglects Hijaab and persists on doing so has weak faith to a large extent. Therefore, she should not be chosen as a wife. Thus, if that girl persists on neglecting the Sharee‘ah-approved Hijaab, it is permissible to break your engagement to her. You should seek a religious woman who has good morals. Allaah Knows best.
