Ruling on Wearing the Iqal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another question: If I wear the iqal, some of my brothers told me: Do not wear it, it is forbidden?
Answer:
The iqal is nothing. If he wears an iqal, or a string, or a turban, there is no harm. All of it is fine.
There is no harm in these matters of clothing, except in a way that involves imitating the disbelievers. So one should not do the thing that involves imitating the disbelievers. As long as his clothing is what Muslims wear, there is no harm.
