When does the forbidden imitation of the disbelievers cease?

Question : Those who greet according to a specific custom, and the custom of the country,

Answer : Yes. So is this originally something that should be done? No. If the reason for the prohibition is imitation, then its ruling ceases when it becomes widespread among the Muslims, provided it is not an act of worship or forbidden in itself. If it is forbidden in itself, it remains forbidden even if it becomes widespread among the people. For example, if it was the custom of the polytheists for men to wear silk, it would be forbidden even if it became widespread among the people. But if something is forbidden only because of imitation, then when it becomes widespread among the people and is adopted by both Muslims and disbelievers, the imitation increases.
