What is the ruling if the administration of the hospital where I work demands that I remove my Islamic attire—the shirt, the cap, and the half-length trousers—otherwise
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The questioner : I have a question, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Bring it.
The questioner : I work as an ambulance driver in a hospital, and I wear Islamic attire: a shirt, half-length trousers, a cap, and a long beard. This is the third time the administration has demanded that I remove the Islamic attire—the shirt, the cap, and the half-length trousers—otherwise I will be fired. So what is the ruling of the Shari'ah? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : And what about the beard?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And I did not mention the beard.
The questioner : They have not mentioned the beard up to now.
The Shaykh : They will mention it to you later.
The questioner : It is possible, yes, yes.
The Shaykh : No, there is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : There is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator.
The questioner : So I will bear the firing and not change... for that.
The Shaykh : You and your faith.
The questioner : What should I do, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. I have given you the answer.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I have given you the answer. May Allah guide you.
The questioner : O Shaykh, the voice cut out; I did not hear.
