Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If da'wah workers go, for example, to America or Europe and arrive there to call people to Allah, and their clothing is known, how should they be?
The Shaykh:
They wear the clothing of the disbelievers; they wear their ordinary clothes.
The questioner:
Even if this leads to harm, may Allah forgive them if they are known by this.
The Shaykh:
They. Something must be done that contradicts the [unclear], so that it does not become their dress, and it does not frighten them. A person sells, but it does not frighten them. It is obligatory in the lands of the Muslims, and praise be to Allah.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh:
If he has a mistake, he does not go; he leaves it to Allah, he leaves it from afar, in the dispute and the writings, and praise be to Allah.
