Wearing the Rida' and the Bishat When Going Out for the Prayer for Rain
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The author mentioned that the Muslim goes out in a state of humility, modesty, and awe. Does wearing a rida (cloak) or a bisht (robe) contradict this?
Answer:
What contradicts this is if the rida or the bisht contains adornment. It should be ordinary clothing, whether it is a bisht, a rida, or a habb (coat). It should be ordinary clothing without adornment, and it should not be new; rather, it should be worn-out clothing for the prayer for rain. This is different from the festival, where one goes out in adornment, which is why the day of the festival is called the Day of Adornment.
