Did the Prophet always wear the turban?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is mentioned in a hadith of Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he wore a turban, would let it hang between his shoulders. He asks: Does this mean that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not always wear the turban?
The Shaykh:
We have referred to this. We said that it is evidence that he did not always wear the turban, nor did he always wear the shirt, but if he did this, it would be in this manner. Yes.
The questioner:
And does this mean, may Allah preserve you, that if he did not wear the turban, he would go out with his head uncovered, (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh:
We do not know this. Allah knows best. Yes.
