As a Muslim girl what you do is between you and god, don’t let anyone tell you differently. Start out taking it off in safe space to see how you like it but once you know you want to stop you should tell your parents because keeping up a double life like that is exhausting and stressful

Ngl as an Egyptian myself I feel like Egyptians are more liberal a bit with Islam. I feel like you should talk to your parents. Obvi not all Egyptian parents are the same but I feel like a good level headed conversation could go a long way and remind them there is no compulsion in religion!

Coming from a handy dandy masters student in counseling, it can be hard to just take it off. There’s a lot of factors here that a lot of people on here won’t consider. I think if you want good advice, maybe here is not the place for it. Here to chat if you need

There’s someone named Jesus Christ who is the Lord of earth. God created you and loves you. He created you to be beautiful why would he want you to hide that beauty in a Hijab. I’d be happy to help you get to know him

She says she wants to take it off and most of you are stanning for the hijab anyway.

So is encouraging and making someone doing the same thing. I’m not forcing her. Saying she doesn’t belong to is crazy.

Not many, but then most Christians don’t follow their bible fully, I’m pretty sure it would be illegal for them to do so, or in the very least deemed uncivilised.
