Writing the names of women on their abayas
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question from the women. They say that recently an event has occurred that requires immediate and urgent action. It is that some women in the markets buy abayas, then take them to specific places in the markets to have their names printed on them, either in the middle or at the bottom, in gold color so that everyone who sees it can read it.
Answer:
So far, this is all we have heard, but we will seek Allah’s help in removing this; it is not permissible. This is a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation); we ask Allah for safety from it. Put down this paper; this is a bid'ah (religious innovation) that one does not deserve.
