What is the ruling on wearing the ghutrah? What is the ruling on the one who leaves it off? And what is the guidance for those who are distracted by the ghutrah during prayer?

The questioner : It is a garment, or otherwise a garment.
The Shaykh : If it is ... .
The questioner : ... meaning ... .
The Shaykh : That is ... .
The questioner : ... when we were at the university, the young men, I mean ... .
The Shaykh : At the university, they did not wear the ghutrah.
The questioner : Yes, that was the case.
The Shaykh : Especially if it is ... like my story.
The questioner: Hehehe.
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : By Allah, one person asked me once and said to me, "The Shaykh does not wear a shemagh."
The Shaykh: Hehehe.
The questioner : The Shaykh does not wear a shemagh.
The student : ... .
The Shaykh : ... .
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : That this ghutrah, Abu Khalid.
The questioner: Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : You may be directly or indirectly the target of my following words.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This ghutrah has enslaved its wearers, and whenever I see its effect on its people and recall his saying (peace be upon him):, one finds himself sitting like in your story; what is it worth now?
The questioner: Hehehe.
The Shaykh : After a while, he arranges it properly, or not?
The questioner: Correct.
The Shaykh : After a while, he arranges it.
The questioner : By Allah, O Shaykh, even in prayer it distracts many people.
The Shaykh : After a while, it has enslaved you because you are busy adorning it, even when it is not the time for religious display, talking, lowering it, and the like. You will find that the subconscious has done this, so accustom yourselves to wearing it this way.
The questioner : Hehe, but O Shaykh, the one who wears the iqal is worn out.
The Shaykh : ... Ah.
The questioner : It is reasonable that even in prayer it occupies one.
The student : But O Shaykh, now O Shaykh, the one who wears the iqal is still worn out.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And some of them, on the occasion of the iqal, we have the time of the turbans; we have in Syria this Turkish one, they put on the turban either this way or this way.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This is instead of, I mean, the arrogance; now the iqal is the same issue, this way and this way, or have you not noticed?
The questioner : Yes ... even in the army, they do it this way.
The Shaykh : Accustom yourselves ... you mentioned the roundness in the army; that roundness is the army's, the police's.
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : What do you call it ... .
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The important thing is the guidance of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); it is true that he taught us not to mock our adornment and appearance, but on the other hand, he also drew our attention to the fact that we should not be slaves to the dirham and the dinar, or slaves to the khumayseh and the like. So when he said (may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him) in the well-known hadith, there is no need for us to mention it in full:Sahih Muslim 91a, but in another hadith he said: , in another hadith he said: , . This does not mean the hadith contradicts His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He): [Al-A'raf 7:32]. The verse means one thing and the hadith means another. , meaning: Beware of me and excess in luxury. Now, you hardly find a Shaykh who wears a ghutrah ... what should we say, wears a ghutrah? I do not want to say he is arrogant.
The questioner : Wears a ghutrah.
The Shaykh : Then another problem arises.
The student : He wears a ghutrah.
The Shaykh : Ah, he wears a ghutrah. May Allah reward you with good. The important thing is, he cannot walk without a ghutrah. How is this? The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) sometimes went out with a taqiyah, sometimes with an 'immah, which is the ghutrah, and so on. We are holding onto it, as they say in our lands, like the Israelis. I am not going to tell you to do it; we are holding onto it like the Israelis. It is not done except with a ghutrah or an 'immah. No, by Allah, it is not arranged this way and that way. We are not like that. Now we are walking, and more than that, we are complaining that it is tilted a little this way. Tell her it must sit like this. This is not what is befitting. This is what I wanted to mention.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : And may He reward you.

Woe to the slave of the dirham, woe to the slave of the dinar, woe to the slave of the khumayseh.
تَعِسَ عبد الدرهم ، تعس عبد الدينار ، تعس عبد الخميصةThe questioner: Hehehe.
The Shaykh : After a while, he arranges it properly, or not?
The questioner: Correct.
The Shaykh : After a while, he arranges it.

Verily, Allah is Graceful and He loves Grace
إنَّ الله جميلٌ يحبُّ الجمالHumbleness is part of faith.
البذاذة من الإيمانBeware of me and luxury; for the servants of Allah are not those who indulge in luxury.
إياي والتنعُّم ؛ فإنَّ عباد الله ليسوا بمتنعِّمينBeware of me and luxury.
إياي والتنعُّمSay, "Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has produced for His servants and the good [lawful] things of provision?" Say, "They are for those who believe during the worldly life [but] exclusively for them on the Day of Resurrection."
قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِ وَالطَّيِّبَاتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ قُلْ هِيَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا خَالِصَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِBeware of me and luxury.
