The Ruling on Wearing the Tight Turban, the Shirt, and the Pants
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
The whole of it.
The questioner:
The Shaykh says: What is the ruling on the imam, or what is the ruling on the imam, or
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in wearing the tight turban; there is no prohibition. However, he does not wipe over it. As for its permissibility, the default ruling for clothing is permissibility, and nothing from it is forbidden except by evidence. One may wear the tight turban, the loose turban, or leave his head uncovered and wear nothing, or wear the cap, or the shawt, or the ghutrah, or the 'aqab. All of this, praise be to Allah, is permissible. The default ruling for clothing is permissibility, unless there is evidence for its prohibition, or if it involves imitating the disbelievers specifically—clothing that is specific to the disbelievers is not permissible—or imitating the opposite gender, such as men imitating women or women imitating men; this imitation is prohibited. It must be in the thing itself. Wearing the tight turban is not specific to the disbelievers, so it cannot be said that it involves imitation. In fact, the majority of disbelievers have nothing on their heads; they have uncovered heads. Yes. Imams. Ha? Yes. There is no meaning, meaning the shirt and the pants, there is no meaning.
Except if one is in a country where they are accustomed to wearing thiyab and khams, then he should not contradict the society. He should not contradict what the society is upon. However, if he is in a society that wears the shirt and the pants, then he wears them. Is this specific to the disbelievers? The clothing of the shirt and the pants is not specific to the disbelievers. It has now become general, worn by Muslims and disbelievers alike, and the default ruling for clothing is permissibility. If Allah wills.
But observing the custom of the society is required. For example, if a person lives among people who wear thiyab and khams, and he contradicts them by wearing a shirt and pants, it is not correct for him to continue doing so, because this causes astonishment among the people, and there is no need for it. Yes.
The whole of it.
