Q&A for How to Choose Whether to Wear the Hijab

Be confident in your choice. The longer people see you without it, the faster they will become accustomed to you without it.

Remember that hijab is not a fashion. It is an act of worship! Peace be upon you.

You can wear hijab confidently by understanding it. Hijab indicates modesty and that your personality counts more than your appearance. Many people are going to judge you, but don't worry; to them, physical appearance matters more than personality.

It should go down your back, and a cloth that is big enough to cover your hair, shoulders, neck and chest should cover it. If strange men are near, you should cover your face.

You can find a hijab at big chain stores like Walmart or Target. If you live in a city, you might be able to find a hijab store. Look for stores with names in Arabic.

Absoloutly! Allah (SWT) will give you a lot of hasnat for starting at age 10!

Wear it in a simple manner, like the square method, it's fast and looks cute. You can wear long dresses or maxi skirts with the hijab.

May Allah reward you and grant you strength to wear hijab. This is truly a great step and Allah will make it easy for you and bless you in it. There are many styles of wearing a Hijab, and the ears are meant to be covered - would it be possible to wear the hearing aid and keep it covered with the hijab?

If you started wearing one, you're not supposed to remove it at all (except at home and in front of your mahrams), so if you're not sure you can do it, it's better not to start wearing it.

You can wear any style of hijab as long as you cover yourself. If you want to wear a turban-style hijab, just be sure to wear a dress or shirt that covers your neck.

Try to talk it out. If they are still forcing you, than unfortunately you might have to follow until you are at an age (18+ in a western country) where it's your right to choose whether or not you want to do something.

Discuss with them your opinion and respect their concerns. If they permit It's good. But you can also wear it without their permission if you want. In Islam, Allah and his messenger are to be obeyed first and parents afterwards.

Just go and tell them. They'll sure help you! There's no need to be worried.

Of course Allah (SWT) wants us to look nice; however, not at the cost of His words. For example, wearing a hijab that only covers your hair and exposes your ears and neck isn't allowed, as this area is still your awrah. When looking at different trends, your main priority should always be: does it cover my awrah?

It is OK if you are not recently wearing a hijab to wear t-shirts, though if you are wearing a hijab, it is best not to. Unless you are at home and it's summer, then yes.

If once you started wearing hijab, it is not allowed to open. If you have problems rather than this, consult with your mother about the problems. She will heal all your problems. Always be best at your own side. Allah may heal all your problems.

Have you tried explaining to your family why you want to wear hijab? If you did that and it also fails, you can still cover modestly without the hijab, such as using scarves, long sleeves and long pants or skirts.

At the end of the day, you are getting ajar for wearing your hijab. Let's not forget this life is temporary, so it wouldn't matter how you look.

First of all, what that mother did was wrong and very very rude. There will always be people who won't accept you as who you are. Stay strong and wear that hijab. Talk to the teacher about this too.

It depends. Even if one is aged, a woman is required to be adhere to the Islamic apparel unless it is in the presence of minor children or very old frail men who have no interest in the sexuality of women, in whose presence a woman may expose her hair and arms. (Refer to Qur’an 24:31 and also Tafsir al Tabari)

It is a kind gesture, and you can if you like, but there is no need, as you are not a hijabi.
