Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The question is: What is the ruling on wearing the cap that has become widespread among many young people in our time, may Allah guide them? Please inform us, O honorable Shaykh, may you be rewarded, and may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : The cap.
The Shaykh : The cap, and what is this?
The questioner : Wearing a cap that has a front part covering the face.
The Shaykh : The one with a brim? It has a brim?
The questioner : It has nothing in it, but its appearance is imitation, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : But it has a brim in the front? Yes?
The questioner : It has a brim.
The Shaykh : It has a brim in the front.
The questioner : Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : I see that you should not wear it. I met a young man after the 'Isha' prayer and said: Why are you wearing this? He said: I wear it to protect from the sun. So consider how they have reached the point of foolishness to this extent; after the 'Isha' prayer, is there sun? Also, I think it is harmful to the eye, because the eye then remains unable to face the rays of the sun.
In any case: it should be, for example, that we deal with those who wear it with gentleness and kindness. And we say: ... on this. And this should not go beyond the custom of the people of the country without severe disapproval. Yes.
