The Criterion for Imitating the Disbelievers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, this questioner says: What is the criterion for imitating the disbelievers? Is it limited to what they are specifically known for, or is it everything that comes from them?

Answer:
Imitating them in their acts of worship is not permissible. Imitating them in their specific customs, such as their clothing, their style, and so on. Yes. May Allah reward you. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
