When a girl reaches the menstrual age, it is not proper that anything should remain exposed except this and this. He pointed to the face and hands." [Abu Dawud]

Ibn Qudama in al-Mughni (1:349) explained that showing the face and hands are a specific dispensation within the general meaning of the hadith "All of the woman’s body is considered her nakedness [to those outside the mahram relationship or her husband]." (al-mar'atu `awra)
I did not say was not required. It is, but only when she is ready to do it. Otherwise then it is of no point, because her intention won't be for Allah.
As is everything in Islam, they are required, but if your not ready to do them, and you do them out of complusion, not out of your own intention to follow Islam and please Allah then it is of no use.
If that intention is not there, then your actions are just that, actions. Actions without a sincere intention are not rewardable, actions done for others beside Allah do not classify as a relgious act.


The Darker the NIGHT,
The brighter the dawn.
The longer the darkness lingers,
The more beautiful the light will come.
