Hi, i have been wanting to convert to islam for a while now but I am unsure of the rules about covering with a hijab. Do I have to do it straight away after I accept the religion and is it a sin if I don't. I am an 23 years old orthodox Christian women married to Muslim men. I have read a few chapters from the quran and felt such a connection with it. I would say for the most time I like to cover by body as I don't like attracting others and feel much better this way. I am just unsure which way to take but if I convert and not cover my hair straight away this feels wrong, I will be able to learn to pray, fast during ramadan and dress modestly but I am.afraid the hijab will take me longer time. What's the best path for me...

Observing Hijab is Fard (compulsory) like praying Salah. Make effort to observe it. May Allah grant you the ability to wear the Hijab and make your matters easy for you. Ameen.

And Allah knows best
