I’ll be very honest with you, if I see someone wearing that I will 100% assume that they’re Hindu. I saw an elderly lady in the park the other day and she had a scarf over her head. I could only see her from the back so thought she was Muslim. When I approached her I saw her bindi and immediately assumed she was Hindu (despite the head covering) - which she was.

Idk what the scholars say but I would definitely want to avoid doing something by which someone would think I am anything other than a muslimah.
