The Ruling on Imitating the Disbelievers in Clothing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: If a new style of clothing becomes widespread in any country to the point that one can no longer distinguish the disbeliever from the Muslim, is it permissible to wear such clothing, like the tie, the trousers, and the hat?
Answer:
Imitating the disbelievers is not permissible. Whoever imitates a people is one of them. So the Muslim remains in his clothing, he remains in his clothing, and praise be to Allah. It is a source of pride for him, it is a source of pride for him. When the disbelievers come to us, they do not wear our clothing; they remain in their own clothing. So how is it that when we go to them, we change our clothing? Our clothing is more noble and better, so we remain in our clothing, and praise be to Allah. We have not seen anyone who went and held on to his clothing except that the people praise him and commend him. So remain in your clothing, and praise be to Allah. It is a source of pride, and there is no defect in it; rather, it is the perfection of covering and adornment. Yes.
