Is wearing trousers without a shirt and turban considered imitating the disbelievers?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is wearing trousers considered imitating the disbelievers if one does not wear a shirt over them and a turban?
The Shaykh : I do not know if the questioner means by "sarawil" the meaning understood linguistically, or if he intended to use the word "sarawil" instead of "pants," and in that case exchanged the name "sarawil" for the name "pants." If the questioner means the "sarawil" that we understand, which is the loose, wide garment that some Muslims still wear, then I do not understand where the imitation comes from here? And I do not know what came to his mind?
The questioner : It appears he means pants.
The Shaykh : If he means pants, we have spoken about them repeatedly and often. This is not the dress of Muslims; because it describes and outlines the limb. It is narrow where it should be wide, and wide where it should be narrow, and so on. Reverse it and you will not hit the mark. This is the system of life today, unfortunately. So the imitation is in wearing pants, not in wearing "sarawil," if he meant by "sarawil" pants, or if he meant something else, I did not understand it.
Other than that?
