Is clothing a matter of worship or a matter of custom?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Clothing also falls under this category because it is one of the customary matters, as he (peace be upon him) said: Mishkat al-Masabih 4380, but there is a hadith regarding clothing, namely his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 14:56. His statement: took white clothing out of the customary matters and brought it into the category of worship, so it became an act of worship for a Muslim to wear white, if my expression is correct, because of his (peace be upon him) saying: . With such indicators, a Muslim can distinguish between the Sunnah of custom and the Sunnah of worship. Worship requires evidence, as you know, just as Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The default ruling for customs is permissibility unless there is a text, and the default ruling for acts of worship is prohibition unless there is a text." With such rules, a student of knowledge can distinguish between the Sunnah of custom and the Sunnah of worship.
Eat what you like and wear what you like as long as two things miss you : prodigality and pride.
كُلْ ما شئت ، والبَسْ ما شئت ؛ ما جاوَزَك سَرَفٌ ومخيلةThe best of your clothing is white, so dress your living in it and shroud your dead in it.
خير لباسكم البياض ، فألبسوها أحياءكم ، وكفِّنوا فيها موتاكمThe best of your garments are white
خير لباسكم البياضThe best of your garments are white
خير لباسكم البياض
