Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on working in a job that requires wearing foreign clothing, such as a cap and clothing that resembles trousers? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Clothing that imitates the disbelievers is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 4031Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani) Therefore, it is not permissible to imitate the disbelievers in their clothing. If the employers force you to do so, there is no obedience to a creation in the disobedience of the Creator, and there are many jobs. Go to another job that is pure and does not have what you mentioned. [At-Talaq 65:2-3] There are many jobs, praise be to Allah. So if your field becomes narrow, go to another field. Yes.
