Does someone who does not wear hijab go to hell?
__________________________________________________ ___________________
Question:
If a girl doesn''t wear hijab, does it mean that she will go to hell even if she offers Salat, reads Quran regualrly, acts decently, doesn''t look at boys, doesn''t gossip/babckbite etc? Will not wearing hijab condem her to hell despite all her good attributes?

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate. May His abundant blessing and most perfect of peace be on His Beloved Prophet, the best of creation, and his family, companions and followers.
The hijab is obligatory. Leaving the obligatory makes one sinful and liable to being punished by Allah. Doing the obligatory, with the intention of obeying Allah and seeking His pleasure, is an act of good and deserving of eternal reward in the Hereafter, and an increase in one's spiritual rank--good in this life and the next.
While disbelief and rejection of faith leads to eternal punishment in Hell, sins do not. Sins make one deserving of Allah's punishment for a period of time in Hell, but this punishment is not eternal. Nor does it necessarily follow that one will be punished for every sin: Allah can forgive any sins, even major, and good deeds and other matters can wipe away sins.
It is obligatory to repent from sin. When one is weak, one should at least turn to Allah and ask for the strength to do what is right, out of a desire to seek Allah's pleasure, and to be of those who love Allah--for the lover seeks to obey the wishes of their Beloved in all things.
And Allah alone gives success.
