We said that if the clothing of the disbelievers becomes widespread among the Muslims, the cause of imitating them is removed. So what if there is another cause in it, such as it being tight?

The questioner : We said regarding clothing that if it becomes widespread among the Muslims, it means the imitation is removed.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, if there is a characteristic added to the imitation... now the disbelievers wear it tight, to the point that it does not... meaning...?
The Shaykh : Yes, we must say that the imitation is removed. But if it is forbidden from another angle, it is forbidden. That means it becomes permissible, or the prohibition is removed, in terms of it being imitation. However, if there is another reason, such as it being silk, or isbal (letting a garment hang below the ankles), or as you said, being tight, or containing a cross, or something similar, this is forbidden. Yes, that is correct.
