Yes, I’ve been to a church before. And choco means if they’re given permission to, they can. Right @liyahsdiamond? I’ve been to a Church before. They invited my mother.

I guess you can but it depends on the Muslims decision.

I’m assuming it’s also, like, if you’re not going there to pray to Jesus :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah I’m allowed in churches too >.<

Synagogues and mosques too. Been in all of them, they’re all usually very nice too :+1:

Of course you’re allowed :stuck_out_tongue: There aren’t many mainstream religions that have a problem with people from outside of the religion joining in! As long as they respect the customs. But there are some religions that bar their own members from participating in other religious communities

You can’t forget about menstruation. Muslim women aren’t allowed to do these things while they’re on their period:

  • Pray
  • Touch the quran (some read the Quran but wear gloves but I honestly don’t think it’s a good idea because you’re still unclean)
  • Fast
  • Enter the mosque (some women still do that but still, I think it’s unclean)

So…I really hope I’m not being disrespectful, as that is not my intention

Muslims are not allowed to date…right? But they’re expected to marry…right? My question is…How can you marry someone if you haven’t dated them?

Again, really not trying to be disrespectful, just legit curious :nerd::hearts:

Nope. We can’t date. (Although I don’t know how on earth getting married would even work… Without dating… You just ask??)

Exactly!

A lot of Muslim marriages I came across end so quickly because they never show any chemistry.

I think we should be able to date but without premarital sex (personal preference)

One word: Courtships. If the person is young, their parents usually set them up with someone for the future or make them wait till their 18. However, there are Muslims out there like me that are willing to date.

A little misconception people make is that we all have to wear long sleeves all the time. As I always say, It will depend on the individual, denomination, and where they’re from. :crossed_fingers:t3:
