Salem Alikoum Brothers and Sisters
I have come to the point where I am ready to wear hijab full time. I have been in my current job, as a receptionist in a car showroom, for around 12 weeks now. I mentioned it to the boss and he was unsure of what to say so referred it to head office for a decision. I have emailed some photos of myself to them to give an idea of what this would look like and next week I am having a visit from someone from our personnel department.
I am not sure what thier decision would be but I would like to be prepared for if they say I cannot wear one. I know its within my rights to wear a headscarf but as I havent been at work for too long and I love the job I want to tread carefully and for now I dont want to start laying down the law.
I understand thier concerns as I live in a place where Muslims, male or female, are a rare breed! I think theyre expecting me to go in a niqab or something!
Do you know of any websites or have any links please, where I can print off my rights to wear hijab, and do my homework so I can prove to them that they cannot deny me wearing the hijab, if they choose that decision.
I may be jumping the gun a little and they may be ok but I want to have some knowledge of my rights. I live in the UK
Jazakhallah for your help.
