How to interact with a Niqabi: A Guide of sorts

[Img id: three photos of the-eldritch-it-gay, a medium skinned niqabi wearing a black niqab. In the first they are wearing rose-gold headphones and blue exam gloves. The 2nd photo is a close up selfie of them wearing a black jilbab and niqab in front of a multi-colored poster. In the 3rd image, they are taking a selfie in a mirror, wearing the same headphones, niqab and jilbab as the first image, but with a leather jacket over the jilbab.]

This is in response to this post of mine you might have see. A common question I’ve gotten is more or less “how should I interact with a niqabi?” So I thought I might answer that and some other questions or things brought up. Please keep in mind I am not the Authority on Muslims, Islam and Muslims are not monoliths, this is advice based on my experience as a niqabi.

A note before we begin: I use they/them/theirs pronouns, please respect that.

Q: How different is a niqabi from any other person?

A: Not very! The only difference between me and a Muslimah who wears a loose hijab and jeans is our choice of clothing. My wearing a jilbab and niqab doesn’t mean I’m more conservative or more Muslim than other Muslims, it’s simply how I choose to dress. The biggest difference between me and someone who isn’t Muslim is that I dress differently and believe in Allah(SWT). We probably have more in common than you think. I’m a university student, I go to classes and live in a dorm like everyone else. I play video games, I post on social media, I watch movies and TV shows, I play D&D, I make jokes, I’m socially awkward and anxious, I watch funny tiktoks, I play minecraft.

Q: Is it okay to talk to niqabis?

A: Absolutely. We haven’t taken some vow of silence or isolation, I’m not certain where that idea comes from. We’re just Muslims who cover our face and dress modestly.

Q: Are there any rules about interacting with niqabis?

A: The only thing I can possibly think of is about shaking hands/touching. In general, veiled Muslim women aren’t supposed to touch/shake hands with men. This varies from Muslim to Muslim, but your safest bet is to avoid shaking hands or touching unless they initiate it. We’re also still in the midst of a pandemic, so I don’t think anyone is big on shaking hands right now, Muslim or not.

Instead of shaking hands, if you really want you can place your hand on your chest and just kinda nod.

Q: Wait you can’t shake hands with men?

A: I’m sure some of you might think that is a “backwards” or “archaic” or “fucked up” rule/practice. It isn’t. It’s just a cultural difference, please do not back into Islamaphobia over a minor cultural difference. I promise you I would not feel “liberated” if I shook a man’s hand. And as I mentioned, this rule is not one all Muslims follow. Fixating on this one cultural difference is why growing up I had non-Muslim teachers tell me I would never make it in the professional world and how “tragic” it is that I’m not supposed to shake a man’s hand. Which is weird, let us all agree and realize handshakes are not that important.

Q: Can you shake hands with a trans person? Or a nonbinary person?

A: First, I am trans and “nonbinary”. Second, Trans women are women and trans men are men, so yeah I can shake hands with a trans woman. Nonbinary people aren’t a monolith so it would vary from person to person. And again, nothing is stopping me from shaking anyone’s hand if I want. If a niqabi or Muslim women offers you a handshake, then it’s fine.

Q: Can you swear around a niqabi?

A: Gonna be real, I swear all the time, it doesn’t bother me. Comfort around swearing I feel isn’t just like, a religious thing, I know plenty of non-Muslims who don’t like people swearing.

I’m an adult, though, you don’t have to treat me like a child just because I wear a niqab.

Q: Do you have to wear black?

A: No. Black is a traditional color, and it also goes with everything, but niqabs and jilbabs come in plenty of colors. Niqabis can wear all sorts of colors and have all sorts of clothing style. My style is often what has been affectionately called “Mexican Warlock” (cuz, you know, my culture influences my clothing, not just Islam)

[Img id: 4 photos of the-eldritch-it-gay. In the first image, they are wearing a forest green button up shirt, a green and gold intricate patterned silk skirt, and a red, gold, and turquoise indigenous beadwork necklace and matching earrings. In the next they are wearing a embroidered Mexican cowboy hat, and a red jilbab over a full skirt with rows of ribbons going up half the skirt and white lace on the hem. In the 3rd image it is a close up selfie of them wearing a dark teal jilbab with a black niqab and a black leather cowboy hat painted with flowers. In the final image, they are wearing the same ribboned skirt from before, now with a bright red huipil, a black cardigan, an embroidered cowboy hat, and a black scarf split into two braids.]

I like black, though. And I’ve also talked on this blog a lot about how whether people see me as oppressed or treat me as a person is dependent on whether I look “cute” or wear bright colors. If you want to support muslimahs, your support needs to extend to those of us who wear all black, not just those who exist in your comfort zone.

Q: Isn’t it understandable for someone to be frightened at first? Almost anyone would think you look scary!

A: Here’s the thing, though, that fear response is not universal. I have plenty of friends who aren’t Muslim and who barely know anything about Islam, but their response to a photo like this

[Img id: a photo of the-eldritch-it-gay. They are wearing a black jilbab and skirt, white and rose gold headphones, and black and white shoes. They are facing away from the camera and walking down a dimly lit hallway.]

is not fear. To plenty of people, this looks like a normal photo of just someone listening to music and walking down a hallway. I’m not going to hold it against someone if they are so conditioned and unaware of Muslims that they’re frightened the first moment they see me. But if you are frightened, you should take some time to reflect on your biases and try to unlearn the association with niqab = scary. And most importantly, if you are frightened at first glance, you should avoid publically defending being frightened or telling me about it. Because at the end of the day, a lot of that reaction is based in islamaphobia and defending being frightened is also defending Islamaphobic people who use that fear to justify treating me as subhuman or trying to eradicate Muslims. I don’t blame someone for being brought up in a deeply islamaphobic culture, but I do expect that they reflect on their biases and work on unlearning them.
