Ok maybe I should put it like this. Supposing a person knows hijab is obligatory and a commandment of God, but refuses to wear it all her life, yet suddenly only wears it cos she fears her husband will divorce her or she wants to make sure her dad doesn't cut her off her will, then this is the type of person I refer too. She didn't want to do it for God's sake, though she was aware of it's depth, but only did it for a worldly gain.
On the other hand, there will be women, perhaps a convert or just a person not aware of the ruling pertaining to hijab, who may then wear it to please her family/husband etc simply cos she was unaware.
Either ways both women will need to be shown clear proof from the Quran and Sunnah, and should they then chose to change or do otherwise it will be up to them.
And yes the truth is ultimately we cannot be a judge of anyone. It's upto God alone to judge us all.
Personally it does make me upset to see women doing things of Islam for the sake of a man, and then turning away from it moment he is gone. And sadly I've seen this too many times. In fact very recently a friend of mine, who is a convert, wore abayah for ages to please her man, and when he dumped her she chucked it saying, she was doing it for his sake so why bother, and that she knew this was wrong, so she's taking it off with the intention of wearing it only to please God, one day.....she's yet to get back into it though but who knows,perhaps one day she will. Though mind you,she is still my dear friend.
