Advice to the young men who wear European clothing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you, what is your advice for the young men who wear European clothing in these lands?

Answer:
This imitation of the disbelievers in their clothing is not permissible. This is not permissible. We are forbidden from imitating them in their clothing, their speech, and all their characteristics. 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)
Imitation includes everything that is specific to the disbelievers, including their customs. So we do not imitate them in that. One should wear the clothing of the people of the land, the clean, decent clothing. This is what is obligatory for the one who is in these lands. Yes.
