Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, I have heard about the clothing of fame. What is the clothing of fame? What is its ruling? And what is the ruling on one who adopts this clothing?
Answer:
The clothing of fame is the clothing that differs from what the people of the town are wearing. If the people of the town are wearing lawful clothing that contains nothing forbidden, it is not permissible for a person to differ from them and wear clothing that differs from their lawful attire, because this makes him famous and draws attention to him. This is the clothing of fame, and it is not permissible.
