Hello! I am a non-Muslim, and I just learned that the Islamic Center by my house is holding an event tonight where they have invited a mother and child from Gaza who are seeking medical care in the US to talk about their experiences. For full transparency, I am an agnostic, and I am not interested in reverting to Islam. I do, however, love to learn about different religions and cultures, and I feel called to hear these individuals’ stories and experiences.
This is where I am in need of advice. I am a transgender man. I’m not at all scared or worried about that per se, but I am concerned about what I should wear. I know I should dress modestly, but should I still cover my hair to be respectful? Or would it be permissible for me to attend the event without a head covering?
I want to emphasize that I am attending for the sole purpose of listening and learning, and I do not want to be a disruption or disrespectful in any way—especially at an event like this where the topic is important and sensitive. I would really appreciate any advice you could give me.
I apologize because I know it’s last minute, but I only just learned of this event today.
TLDR; I would like to attend an event at an Islamic Center tonight to educate myself, but I’m a transgender man and unsure if I should wear a headscarf.
