The benefit and wisdom of turning the cloak inside out.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : It has been established that turning the cloak inside out is a recommended practice, but what is the wisdom behind it? In some narrations, it is to transform the drought, meaning it is an expression of optimism in Allah the Exalted that the drought will turn into rain and water.
There is also another wisdom in it, which is that it is a symbol of a person’s commitment to transforming from disobedience, which is the cause of drought, to obedience, which is the cause of blessings.
There is a third wisdom for us, which is following the example of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
But should a person turn his ghutrah, shemagh, or other head coverings inside out, or not? It appears that he should not, and that this is specific to the cloak. What resembles the cloak today is the bisht, meaning the shalwar, meaning the robe. As for the ghutrah, the akwat, and the like, this does not appear to be the case to me. Yes, that is correct.
