The Ruling on Wearing a Necktie (Krafta)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on wearing the necktie known as the krafta? And is it true that it is forbidden, and that it is one of the customs of the Christians?

Answer:
It involves imitating the Christians in placing the cross around their necks, so it is imitation. The Muslim should leave it off.
