Introduce yourself

Hello,
Sort of new to this. Have found that Islam is the one true religion. Hopefully not to offend anyone, I am a transgender Male to Female. I am 50 years old and want to convert. I have even picked out a female name, Fahmeeda Khalede. In the process of buying prayer clothing and other articles. Thank you for allowing me to post.

Umm okay, but I am just trying to aid. Hmm, Islam doesnt really allow for you to change your sex. You have to be the sex God gave you, and then go on the path of Islam. Umm, hopefully you find what you need

Drumroll please!!!

The FACT that Allah will forgive you of all your sins and indiscretions prior to you becoming muslim is perhaps the greatest blessing God gave all of us humans who were not born muslim. Allah will forgive everything in your past and consider you more pure and innocent than anybody on the face of the earth after you take your shahada.....so the answer to your question (correct me if I am wrong my brothers and sisters) is that you need to take your shahada, with muslim witnesses and from the bottom of your heart. May Allah accept you and I and all of us righteous followers of Islam. Peace be with you and I also suggest that you seek a scholar to talk at length with about this and any other subject that comes across the beautiful mind Allah has given you.

Hi,

Alhamdulillaah you realized the truth and chose Islam as your religion. Welcome to Islam. However, you still have to stick to what gender Allaah swt gave you and of course choose a female Muslim name. Make Du'a that He (swt) would keep you away from things that would provoke you to do transgender things. Allaah swt is most merciful if you are sincere to him Insha Allaah.

Here I would try to clear the misunderstanding about Brother "Saifadin_Qutuz".

Since all the sins are forgiven after entering Islam, so there is no problem as far as your sex change was in the past when you were not Muslims. If the sex change is reversible then there might be need to consult the scholars about it. But still there is no hurdle in the way to accept Islam.

Since you have changed your sex and if this process is not reversable, then surely that does not mean you cant accept Islam. Everyone and say shahadah and enter Islam anytime, and his sins will be washed out. The only deeds he/she will be asked for which happened after entering Islam.

I hope you understand it.

Wassalaam.

I am glad you have found the truth and indeed Islam erases all previous sins.

I would like to mention however even though you had the sex change you are not female you are still a man and women are not allowed to be with you, without hijab etc. I think the best thing is to speak to an Imam or scholar in confidence at your local mosque.

However I hope this information will be able to help you, I just copied and pasted it.

This operation is haraam in Islam, according to all the reputable contemporary scholars. The earlier scholars did not discuss it because it was not known and was not possible during their time. The fact that it is forbidden is indicated by a number of things, including the following:

Firstly: the verses in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

‘They (all those who worship others than Allaah) invoke nothing but female deities besides Him (Allaah), and they invoke nothing but Shaytaan (Satan), a persistent rebel!

118. Allaah cursed him. And he [Shaytaan (Satan)] said: “I will take an appointed portion of your slaves.

119. “Verily, I will mislead them, and surely, I will arouse in them false desires; and certainly, I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allaah.” And whoever takes Shaytaan (Satan) as a Wali (protector or helper) instead of Allaah, has surely, suffered a manifest loss.

120. He [Shaytaan (Satan)] makes promises to them, and arouses in them false desires; and Shaytaan’s (Satan) promises are nothing but deceptions.

121. The dwelling of such (people) is Hell, and they will find no way of escape from it’

[al-Nisa’ 4:117-121]

Undoubtedly doing such operations is a kind of toying with and changing the creation of Allaah.

Secondly: It is proven in al-Saheeh that ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5546.

Ibn Hajar said: For men to imitate women and women to imitate men, deliberately and by choice, is haraam according to scholarly consensus.

Thirdly: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade hermaphrodites to enter upon women, if they pay attention to women and their charms, and he ordered that they be banned from living among people so as to guard against their evil.

Imam al-Bukhaari included this hadeeth in two chapters: (1) under the heading: “It is forbidden for men who resemble women to enter upon women” and (2) under the heading: “Expelling men who resemble women from people’s houses.”

Ibn Hajar said: What we learn from this is that women should observe hijab before those hermaphrodites who pay attention to women's charms, and that they should be banned from living among people, as a means to deter them. And it seems that doing this is obligatory.

Fourthly: According to specialist doctors, this kind of operation is not indicated by any kind of sound medical evidence, and it is no more than the matter of personal whims and desires.

And there is other evidence which indicates that it is haraam. For more information, please see the book Ahkaam al-Jaraahah al-Tibbiyyah, p. 199

Dr Muhammad ‘Ali al-Barr said: Although the outward appearance of such a person may deceive you into thinking that he is female, in fact his biological structure remains male, even if it has been obliterated completely. Moreover, there is no ovary or uterus and such a person cannot menstruate or get pregnant at all.

Based on the above, it is not permissible under any circumstances for a woman to be alone with him, or to uncover or take off her hijab in front of him, because he is in fact male, even though he may now feel attracted towards males, because of the many female hormones in his system.

I read somewhere that it is not haram for a person to have a sex change operation as such in Islam, but hey that might not have been a reliable source, anyways that doens't matter. If you've found Islam is the truth then take shahada and as many of my brothers and sisters have mentioned your sins will be forgiven and take it one step at a time. Surly Allah will guide you to what is right as it is your relationship with Allah and only you and Allah know what is in your heart. The only thing I will warn you about is that some people aren't as open-minded as those on this site so you might want to be careful and make sure anyone you speak to is well versed in Quran and hadith, if anyone tells you anything without thorough proof from Quran and hadith don't let them get to you, just look into your heart and remember the one moment you realised that Islam is truth and ask Allah to give you strength and not let you give up. Any struggle you face in this life you will be rewarded for (either also in this life or in the next one). This goes for all my brothers and sisters in Islam espacially converts you'll find a lot of people giving you advice, and surely they have the best intention but sometimes they say thing in a way which is hurtful when they didn't mean to or they told you something that isn't correct without realising it, it is difficult for all MUslims to deal with these people as they can discourage you, but remember rely on Allah before anything and surely he will guide you.

P.S. I'm typing this as a reminder to myself aswell.
