Do I have to draw the Jewish star, given that I am a Muslim woman?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
The hexagram, or Star of David, is a symbol with Masonic and destructive connotations. If a Muslim adopts it out of love for its proponents, they may apostatize from Islam. However, if it is used for play, it is forbidden but not disbelief. The same applies to the Zunār (belt): wearing it out of love for disbelievers expels one from the faith, but wearing it for play is forbidden. The ruling on drawing this star is determined by intention: it could be disbelief, forbidden, or permissible if it is for the purpose of warning against it.
