The Ruling on Wearing the Cravat and Its Relation to Imitating the Disbelievers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on wearing the cravat? Is it considered imitating the disbelievers?
Answer:
And the caller? The caller says there is a benefit in it, and in fact, they say it is an imitation of the cross. The Muslim is not marked with the cross, so he puts this on, which is like a cross for hanging the cross. There is no good in it; leaving it aside is undoubtedly further from imitation and further from what is forbidden. Yes.
