My sister is drifting away from Islamic values

Assalamu alaykum, My older sister has started saying some things that really worry me. She used to claim that hijab is just a man-made rule and not from Islam-that it's something from Arab culture that brainwashed us. Now she's gone further and says mahrams don't exist, that they're just a way for men to control women, and she tells me I've been brainwashed too, saying "you'll see on the Day of Judgment." I know deep in my heart that hijab and mahram are part of our deen. I have no doubt about that. But what I'm struggling with is: does saying these things take her out of Islam? She's basically saying something haram (not wearing hijab) is halal, and the same with mahrams. The mahram issue came up because I wanted to go for Umrah with my mahram, and she called it brainwashing. When I pointed out that it's in the Quran, she just said she's not debating. Honestly, I think she avoids debating because she knows she's in the wrong. JazakAllah khair for any advice.

Sis, denying something clearly in the Quran is serious. I'd say she's in dangerous territory, but only Allah judges hearts. Keep making dua, don't stop advising gently.
