Q
Assalamu Aleikom.
I am 18 years old and I am a practicing Muslim. I wear a scarf whenever I go out. Lately, my mother has been telling me to start covering my face also. It is not that I don't want to cover my face or I want to show it to the world. it's just that I get intimidated by the effects it will have on my life.
I will not be able to eat in a public place. If I go to a western country (i love traveling), people will stare at me in a certain way. I cannot do certain jobs. I want to go to a summer school in Prague, but I can’t if I cover my face.
I pray a lot to Allah and ask him for motivation but for some reason, I can’t start covering my face. This frustrates me a lot and my mother is also upset with me because of this. I don't know what to do. please help me.
