High school female students are currently holding a graduation ceremony every year. Is it permissible for them to wear a wreath of roses on their heads?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this question has been asked more than once. The questioner says: High school female students are currently holding a graduation ceremony every year. Is it permissible for them to wear a wreath of roses on their heads, or a specific type of clothing?

Answer:
No, no, this is a custom and imitating others. The students should wear their usual clothes and not change anything from their customary attire. Wearing wreaths, or a cloak in a special shape, or wearing the clothing of nuns on their heads—wearing the clothing of nuns—is forbidden (haram) because it is imitation. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever imitates a people is one of them." Yes. They should wear the clothing of Muslim women, praise be to Allah. And the clothing of Muslim women is better than the clothing of disbelieving women. Yes. And more beautiful. Yes.
