The Exclusivity of Scholars in Wearing Specific Clothing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the best position in the first row?
Answer:
The scholars do not have a specific garment that distinguishes them from the people. The scholars are like the rest of the people; they do not have anything specific to them. This is the practice of the Christians and the practice of the innovators. They distinguish themselves with things that are signs for the awliya (close friends of Allah), as they claim. This is not the case.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
