Hijab dilema

[Thuraya Noran Y]

You should ask them why they wouldn't let you wear hijaab or go to the masjid. I can imagine the reason why they wouldn't let you do those things can be easily refuted. In the meantime, try to cover yourself as much as you can. Inshaa Allaah ta'aalaaa you will be able to follow Islaam!

:wa: I have already asked, and they do not have a good reason. They just don't want me to wear it.

we are all human and we learn as we go along sister, and our views change as we learn more, I like your one step at a time approach also though as it shows it's not a teenage phase you'll burn out from and something you take the time to think about, and to the new sis - this one is FUNNY!

Aslamu Aleikum Sister,

I wouldn't rush on hijab. I would just wear a scarf around your neck to cover the neck and wear full sleeves/long pants. But going to the Masjid, you should make it as easy as possible for your parents. Arrange a ride from someone else, dont stay for a very long time, and explain to your parents how it will help you and why it is important to you.

Salaam

Many women wear scarves around their necks or even over their heads, covering their ears. Its not the full coverage of a hijab, but common enough among Western women that it doesn't pick them out as Muslim or any other religion, just a fashion accessory, or, if in areas that go get cold (ie like most of Canada and northern US during the winter) knit scarves are worn to keep ears from freezing off.

Start just wearing a scarf around the neck in a typical 'fashion assessory' manner. See how your folks feel about this.

I would not worry about going to the Masjid, till you are 16. In the meantime, meet other Sisters around your age, maybe from school or the local community and befriend them. Invite them over and their families or see if their families will invite you and your parents. Maybe meeting Muslims who they can ask questions of and learn more, would set their worries aside. Many people think Muslim women wear hijab because their fathers/husbands force them to. From what I have learn in my own research, this isn't the case. No more than husbands and fathers would want their children/wives walking around topless and 'force' them to wear a shirt or simply clothes in general.
