I have an unorthodox question to ask of anyone who considers themselves muslim (Sunni, Shia, or not). Can a non-muslim woman wear the hijab if she's not looking to convert, but wants to wear one because if makes her feel closer to God?
I'm asking because I used to be muslim but am now looking to be Jewish for my own reasons. I'd rather not debate it, but while I love Judaism, I miss wearing a hijab. Certain branches of Judaism doesn't require you to wear a headscarf unless you are married, but I still want to wear my old hijabs anyways. When I wore my hijab, I felt like I had this special connection with God that no one else could interfere with. Hijab was a sign of my faith in God. God is still close to me, I believe, but without my hijab, my connection to God feels impacted.
Again, I'm not sure that I want to go back to Islam since Judaism's teachings align completely with what I believe, but I want to put my hijab back on. Would it be offensive for me to wear it again sometimes?
