What is the ruling on wearing the black turban?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the black turban now.
The Shaykh : There is no text regarding the dislike of a specific color for clothing, but there is an encouragement to wear white in the well-known hadith, namely his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 14:56. So if a Muslim wears white, that is better, but that is not an obligatory or necessary matter. He may wear whatever he wishes, as you heard in the previous hadith, Mishkat al-Masabih 4380. But if a Muslim adopts a specific garment for the sake of showing off, he (peace be upon him) said . So if a person singles out a specific garment, let it be, as I gave as an example, the black turban, to appear among people and for the sake of showing off, then from this perspective it is not permissible. As for the color, a person wears whatever he wishes. The answer is clear, if Allah wills.
The questioner: Yes.
The questioner : Here are two turbans, the red one and the white one...
The Shaykh : .
The questioner : Both are turbans.
The Shaykh : A turban is what covers the head.
The questioner : What covers the head.
The Shaykh : Yes. It is not general over the head from above; if he lets it hang down, it covers more.
The questioner : How does he let it hang down?
The Shaykh : It also curls up, it is the same thing. Do you not see the farmers?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : ...I mean that the turban should cover the head. As for what he does? Perhaps this brother means that the turban worn by scholars, this turban, has no basis in the Shari'ah. I mean that scholars distinguishing themselves with a specific turban from the rest of the people, this is not of the Sunnah in any way. So if he intends this, then this statement is correct. Yes, otherwise.
The questioner : Is wearing a turban, whether it is white, red, or black, an act of worship?
The Shaykh : No, it is from the Sunnah of custom, not like the Sunnah of worship.
The Shaykh : There is no text regarding the dislike of a specific color for clothing, but there is an encouragement to wear white in the well-known hadith, namely his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
The best of your garments is white, so wear them in your lives and shroud your dead in them.
خير ثيابكم البياض ، فالبسوها أحياءكم وكفنوا فيها موتاكمEat what you like and wear what you like as long as two things miss you : prodigality and pride.
كل ما شئت والبس ما شئت ما جاوز... سرف ولا مخيلةWhoever wears a garment of showing off, Allah will clothe him in a garment of humiliation on the Day of Resurrection.
من لبس لباس شهرة ألبسه الله لباس مذلة يوم القيامةThe questioner: Yes.
