The questioner : Some people go to the mosques wearing inappropriate clothes. Do you have a comment on this as well, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : By Allah, the phrase "inappropriate" has no defined limit.
The questioner : Sleepwear and ... .
The Shaykh : It has no limit in reality.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Because some people consider that only the finest clothes are appropriate to wear, while others do not care.
The questioner : Very well.
The Shaykh : So there is no standard for this, but if the clothes carry a foul smell.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Then, based on what has been mentioned, if they do not carry a foul smell, I do not think we would prevent a person from entering the mosque. But if the clothes he wears are the kind that people generally find repulsive, such as sleepwear as I mentioned, then we tell him: do not go out, not even to the market, in such clothes, because it contradicts dignity. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. This listener, Zaher Muhammad Sa'id from Jeddah, says in his question.
