My boyfriend wants me to wear the hijab

I am a Muslim girl who grew up in a relaxed environment in terms of religion. And my boyfriend is from .., he and his family is very strict about Islam. When we met I wasn’t religious at all and he declared his love to me for a long time. I didn’t want to start a relationship as I knew we had different backgrounds and this would cause problems in the future…

Do I have to Wear Hijab at home?

My husband feels it is a higher/advanced level of adab to also wear a headcovering (eg, scarf) at home. As he has taqwa, he feels doing so is more modest and brings greater blessings into the home through one’s modesty. He suggests (never enforces, alhamduillah for his good character) that I should wear headcovering even in seclusion with no visitors or non-mahrams. I have no objections to doing this if evidence or proof of this is presented as I wish to obey my husband.
