The Criterion for Imitating the Disbelievers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Imitating the disbelievers is a characteristic of this age. The means have spread, such as cars, electricity, and others.So is there a limit in imitating the disbelievers where we say: Is doing this considered imitation, and doing that is not?
Imitating the disbelievers is when a person adorns himself with their attire, in clothing, or in speech, or the like.such that when the observer sees it, he says: This is from the disbelievers. As for what Muslims and disbelievers share in common, that is not imitation.For example: Now, wearing pants for men, we do not say this is imitation; because it has become the custom for everyone. And as for the matter of cars and others, there is no imitation in them at all.
