A Muslim woman in the US has turned to an online forum to ask if she was the a**hole for refusing to remove her hijab for a wedding. The woman, who lives in the south of the US, wears a hijab as part of her religious beliefs. Her friend, who is marrying into a conservative American family, asked her to take off her hijab for the wedding ceremony. The woman refused, saying that she would not compromise her religion for anyone. The woman’s friend was upset by her refusal, and other friends also weighed in on whether or not she was in the wrong. The woman, who is a freelance makeup artist, had also promised to do her friend’s makeup for free, leaving her friend in a tough position with the wedding only a month away. Read on to find out what advice the online community had for this Muslim woman.
