What to wear to mosque for a funeral

[redii]

I am not religious at all. My family are.

I am attending a relative's wedding.

I understand that i need to cover my hair but i really don't feel comfortable wearing anything else that is not "normal" clothing.

So what type of trousers/shoes/top is acceptable?

Also which colours?

Bit confused: your title says 'funeral', but your post says 'wedding'???

Re funeral as a non-Muslim: I was told that anything covering arms and legs was fine.
'Modest', so a looser fit rather than figure-hugging. Nothing sheer.

I wore a lightweight scarf, big enough to cover up my hair/neck when appropriate.

Muted, sober colours.

No flashy jewellery.

(As shoes will be removed, advance check your socks/tights for holes!)

Other mosques may be more liberal about dress code; this one was fairly conservative. Maybe check for your peace of mind?

Ultimately, though, as long as anyone's behaviour is respectful, you being there will be much appreciated and welcomed.

Sorry for your loss. If everything is happening in the sorts of timescales that are normal for Muslim funerals, I'm guessing the person died very recently and the funeral is very soon?

Yes, loose clothing, have something to cover your hair and also maybe a longer top/cardigan that covers your bum. I don't think there is a particular colour, it's certainly not 'everyone wears black' I think people generally wear their normal clothes, or smart, sober versions of them.

Be aware that everything at the Mosque is separated by sex, or it was at the Muslim funeral I went to. I don't know how it would work if you are a different sex to your relative, but I went to a woman's funeral and her casket was in the 'women's room' at the Mosque. The women (lots, lots of them) congregated there to pay their respects while the men prayed in the main Mosque. Everyone then travelled to the cemetary for the burial.

I’m sorry for your loss.

You can wear ‘normal’ clothes, maybe have a loose longer (bum covering) cardigan to wear over and a scarf to cover your hair.

Leggings would work with looser dress, wide leg trousers with shorter (bum covering top), a maxi dress. Remember you’ll need full length sleeves.
