Lengthening the hair on the head and imitating celebrities
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, was it the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he lengthened the hair on his head? And what do you advise some of the young men who lengthen their hair in order to imitate celebrities, such as artists and players, and if you ask them, they answer that this is from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
This is not from the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in this form. They are not following the Sunnah; they are imitating the celebrities among the disbelievers and those who have no value. This is one thing, and the Sunnah is another. Yes.
