Fathwa, - A non-Muslim girl admiring the Islamic Hijaab

Question
I am a 18 year old student and am best friends with a girl of the
Muslim faith.She is a penfriend and over the years has told me much
about her religion and her customs.Though I am not Muslim, I am very
interested in the concept of hijab, not just as items of clothing but
also because I believe in modesty and respect for all women. I know
from her that Muslim women should not dress like non-believers but I
ask, is it okay for a non-believer to dress Islamically ,as long as it
is out of respect and admiration and seeking modesty? Would this
offend Muslims, since I am not Muslim myself? I respectfully ask for
your guidance.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammadis His slave and Messenger.
Legislating Hijaab for women to wear, is one of the Merits of Islam.
One of the most important objectives of legislating the Hijaab is to
protect the woman. Also, Hijaab is a matter that corresponds with
theFitrah)natural disposition upon which Allaah created mankind(.
Since you are interested and impressed with the concept of Hijaab,
then this is a good characteristic in you and it is evidence that
yourFitrahis sound and that you have a sound mind, which we hope will
guide you to the ultimate goodness of embracing Islam. Islam is the
true and final religion by which Allaah abrogated all previous
religions, and Allaah does not accept any other religion but Islam.
Therefore, we advise you to embrace Islam so that you will become
happy in this world and in the Hereafter. The following are some
Fataawa )plural of Fatwa( which will help you in this regard: 81979,
86091, 88906and 88627.
As regards your wearing the Hijaab, then this is permissible and this
neither causes any harm to the Muslims nor hurt their feelings.
Allaah Knows best.
