What are the degrees of imitating the disbelievers and their rulings?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Imitation has degrees: it includes what is disliked, and it includes what is forbidden?
Answer:
Yes, there are types. For example, the authentic hadith that the Jews do not dye their hair, so oppose them by dyeing yours. Dyeing is known to be a recommended practice. And that the Jews do not wear sandals, so oppose them by wearing them...
The point is that the general category of opposing them includes what is forbidden, such as imitating their festivals, their disbelief, their misguidance, and their exaltation of graves. This is reprehensible.
There is also imitation that is less than that.
