Is wearing the clothing of the Jews and Christians considered a form of loyalty?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : That is, he is asking: if I wear the clothing of the Jews or the Christians or other disbelievers, is this loyalty?
The Shaykh : There is no doubt that this is imitating them, and this is agreed upon. However, if the intention behind it is to honor them and elevate their status, then it is loyalty, because one might imitate them in order to honor them and display their distinctive clothing and attire, in which case this would be loyalty.
