Is it permissible for a girl who wishes to embrace Islam and lives with a Christian family that eats pork to eat with them if she secretly embraces Islam, and how can she embrace Islam, pray, and wear the hijab under these circumstances?
Embracing Islam requires uttering the Two Testimonies (Shahadatayn) for an individual to become a Muslim, gaining the rights of Muslims and bearing their responsibilities. A Muslim is obligated to perform the duties and avoid the prohibitions. If a Muslim woman is unable to do so for fear of harm, she is permitted to conceal her Islam, performing what duties she can, such as prayer (combining prayers if necessary), wearing the closest clothing to a hijab, and avoiding pork in a manner consistent with her circumstances, while seeking Allah’s help for steadfastness.
