The Criterion for the Garb of Fame
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: What is the ruling on wearing the clothing of fame for men and women?
Answer:
The clothing of fame is that which contradicts the clothing of the Muslim community that is in accordance with the Sunnah, so one should not contradict it. Because if he contradicts them, they will look at him and find him strange, and he will become a subject of their surprise. Should he not avoid making himself a target for people’s gaze and surprise? However, if the community contradicts the Sunnah in their clothing, it is obligatory for him to contradict them and act in accordance with the Sunnah. But if the community acts in accordance with the Sunnah in their clothing, he should not contradict them, but rather walk with them.

May Allah reward you
