The Meaning of Clothing of Fame and the Ruling on Wearing It

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. What is meant by clothing of fame? Does it include food, furniture, cars, and other things?

Answer:
Clothing of fame is clothing that contradicts the custom of the society. A man wears what contradicts the clothing of men in his country, and a woman wears what contradicts the clothing of women in her country; because this makes them a target of mockery among people, a topic of people's talk, and a source of people's astonishment. It is obligatory for the Muslim to wear the clothing that is the custom of his country, provided that this clothing is not forbidden. If this clothing is within the limits of the permissible and is the custom of the country, it is not permissible for him to contradict it, because it would be the clothing of fame from which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned. Likewise, in cars and other things, a person should not resort to luxurious items and things involving extravagance and waste, but rather he should use the moderate that does not attract attention. He wears without extravagance, rides in cars without extravagance, and lives in a house suitable for him without extravagance or ostentation. Yes.
