Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If the people of the town wear trousers and shirts, should one wear the same as them, or in this case, is one imitating the disbelievers?
Answer:
Trousers are not a distinctive feature of the disbelievers; many Muslims wear them. If it is the custom of the people of the town to wear them, there is nothing wrong with wearing them. However, if the custom of the town is that they wear the thobe and shirt and do not wear trousers, do not differ from them; wear their clothing. Yes.
