Combining the prohibition against imitating women with the Prophet wearing Aisha’s shirt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. How do you reconcile the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibition against imitating women with the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spent the night lying on his bed wearing Aisha’s shirt?
Answer:
It is what one covers oneself with. What he was covering himself with was to protect against the cold. He was covering himself against the cold. A woman’s or man’s covering is not clothing. This is not what he was wearing; rather, he was wrapped in it. Yes.
