Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling in Islam regarding wearing the tarboosh? Given that it is a symbol of the worshippers of the Fire, or that the color of the tarboosh is red, indicating the Fire, and the color ... is black, indicating the smoke of the Fire.

The Shaykh : This is a strange philosophy, especially after the era of the tarboosh has passed, or nearly so. If this were in its prime, by Allah, there would be a reason to look into this.
Another questioner: It is as if the man is saying

The Shaykh : To put it briefly, to put it briefly, the tarboosh is clothing for Muslims, specifically in the later era of the Turks, until it became a symbol for them, like the yellow turban that is still on the heads of ... the elders in Damascus, and likewise here. But with time, and this tarboosh that they used to call, with every ... they would pull it over their heads, they called it "al-Sharaf" (Honor). So time destroyed this honor and it is gone; there is no tarboosh left on heads, nor anything else ... .

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : This is an affirmation by this public of the colonizers who colonized our lands and stamped their customs upon us. Therefore, one of the things we advise those working to establish the Muslim state is that they establish it in their hearts, and among that is realizing their Muslim identity. The identity of the Muslim is not just a claim, but it is in the appearance. If you took a Muslim and placed him in the heart of disbelief in Paris, people would point to him and say, "This is a Muslim." This is how the Muslim should be, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The believer who mixes with people and endures their injury is better than the person who does not mix with people nor endure their injury. المؤمن الذي يخالط الناس ويصبر على أذاهم خير من الذي يخالطهم ولا يصبر على أذاهم
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 388
Is there anything else?
