The ruling on wearing an izar with the intention of imitating the Prophet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: You have told us that lengthening the hair in the manner that was reported is part of the Sunnah. He asks: Is wearing the izar with the intention of imitating the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also part of the Sunnah?
Answer:
No, my brother, these clothes are permissible. There is no recommended practice (sunnah) or religious innovation (bid'ah) in clothing, based on what people wear in every time and every place, unless the clothing is forbidden, such as silk or something containing gold; that is a different matter. As for clothing in general, it is among the permissible things, and one follows the custom of the country in it. Yes.
