The ruling on a son wearing his deceased father’s clothes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the last of this questioner’s questions from Yemen, he says: “Your Eminence, regarding the clothes—my deceased father’s clothes—is it permissible for me to wear the clothes my father used to wear during his lifetime, knowing that some of them are still new?”
Answer:
You may wear them if you are alone. However, if you have co-heirs, you must seek their permission. If they allow it, there is no harm; otherwise, they are to be sold along with the entire estate. If you are alone and you are the only one who inherited, you may wear them, give them in charity, or sell them. But if there are other heirs, you must seek their permission. If they allow it, there is no harm; otherwise, they are to be sold with the estate. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
