Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner asks: What is the criterion for the clothing of fame for men and women?
Answer:
The clothing of fame is that which contradicts the clothing of the Muslim community that is in accordance with the Sunnah, so one should not contradict it. Because if he contradicts them, they will look at him and find him strange, and he will become a subject of their surprise. Should he not avoid making himself a subject of people’s gaze and their surprise? However, if the community contradicts the Sunnah in their clothing, it is obligatory for him to contradict them and act in accordance with the Sunnah. But if the community acts in accordance with the Sunnah, and their clothing is like the Sunnah, he does not contradict them but follows them.
