The ruling on wearing a cap that resembles the caps of the Jews

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A cap resembling the caps of the Jews has become widespread among young people today. Is it permissible to wear it, and what if one does not intend to imitate them?

Answer:
A Muslim wears the clothes that Muslims in his country are accustomed to wearing, and he does not wear anything that contradicts the norms of the society, because it would be a display of arrogance. Wearing clothes that differ from what the people of the country wear is a display of arrogance, and whoever wears the garment of arrogance, Allah will clothe him in the garment of humiliation. This is from one aspect. The second aspect is that if this clothing involves imitating the disbelievers, such as the Jews, the Christians, and others, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He who copies any people is one of them.من تشبه بقوم فهو منهم.
Sunan Abi Dawud 4031Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani)
Imitating them in clothing, in speech, or in any of their distinctive characteristics is not allowed, so we do not wear their clothing. Rather, we wear what Muslims wear. Yes.
