The Ruling on the Secret Habit and a Hadith Reported on It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, what is the ruling on the secret habit when it is forbidden? But Shaykh, I want clarification, please?
The Shaykh:
We have explained that it is wrong or forbidden; it is wrong or forbidden, and the one who does it must be disciplined.
The questioner:
But there is a hadith that he will come on the Day of Resurrection with a stench.
The Shaykh:
This is weak; it is a weak hadith that is not authentic. Rather, Allah the Exalted said: "So whoever follows..." and "So whoever follows..." and "So whoever follows..." and "So whoever follows..."[Al-Mu'minun 23:7] if it is a transgression.
