Hey I Don't Want To Be Mean But Since Samirah Is Hijabi It's Bad Form To Show Her Neck Or Hair. I Know

hey i don't want to be mean but since samirah is hijabi it's bad form to show her neck or hair. i know riordan does it in the books but his portrayal of her there is quite bad - there are lots of guides on the ways to draw hijabi respectfully if you look them up

Dear I'm a Muslim myself

I know about hijab's rules...

The reason I let a few strands of hair show was pretty personal, as an Iranian hijab was abusively forced to me, and in school they used to terrorise us with threats like if one strand of your hair shows, youre going to be hung over from that on strand in hell.

The way Samirah was described, she isn't very bound to traditions. She has her own beliefs. Even if theyre not totally Islam-accurate, theyre hers, with her allah.

Thats why I let a few strands of hair show, to show its not THAT serious, a few strands is more than fine.

And for the neck, different muslims have different beliefs, depends on you honestly.

Basically, seeing Samirah's fanart on google and stuff, i get it, its offensive cuz like theres a lot a lot of hair showing.

But a few strands of hair will always seem fine to me...

I hope i explained this well?

Sorry if i got too personal. Hijab is something i can talk about for days😅
