Is it permissible to imitate the disbelievers?

Question:
This person is asking about imitating the disbelievers?

Answer:
Imitating the disbelievers is forbidden, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The criterion for imitating the disbelievers is that you imitate them in what is specific to them, whether in matters of their religion, in their religious affairs and acts of worship, or in their speech, their gait, and their customs that are specific to them. As for the customs shared between them and others, this is not considered imitation. However, regarding the customs specific to them, you must not imitate them in them. So, imitation encompasses their acts of worship and their specific customs. Yes.
