basically my boyfriend is in mekka doing his pilgrimage and he has the option emphasize OPTION to shave his hair bald for pahala. HOWEVER, i dont think he should do it NOT because i have a problem with bald ppl (even if he was bald i would love him the same) but because i know he has issues with his confidence.
my boyfriend is dead set on shaving his head. id like to add some context that he is NOT a religious man. he has religious parents and grew up surrounded by religion, and despite still having respect for religious practices, does not actively practice and in fact goes out of his way to AVOID practicing.
he believes that him going bald will be a “fresh start” however, i am not sure if thats what he wants. if it weren’t for his previous issues with confidence then i would 100% support him. however, i really do believe that this could be a problem in the future.
so far i have not said any direct opposition to his decision to cut his hair bald. but would i be the asshole if i did?
extra context:
- we come from an islam-majority country, i am christian he is a muslim
- i am not religious and dont believe in god but i still like to go to church for the vibes
- he drinks alcohol and eats pork and doesnt shalat 5 times a day not even on friday so yea he is not religious
- he is there with his parents to help them out
