What is the ruling on wearing the turban worn by the Tablighi Jama'ah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : How are you, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner: Good, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh: If Allah wills, how are you?
The questioner: May Allah bless you. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
The Shaykh: How is your companion?
The questioner: As he is.
The Shaykh: As he is.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: If Allah wills, our Lord will rectify us all.
The questioner : O Allah, amen.
The Shaykh : And how are you?
The questioner: By Allah, we thank Allah to you, O Shaykh, with much gratitude.
The Shaykh : What is behind you?
The questioner: I have a question behind me regarding one of our brothers.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: He called you tonight and asked about the turban of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or about the turban in general.
The Shaykh: No, the first question was not that.
The questioner: ... The first question was not that.
The Shaykh: Nor the second in general, but he specified a turban for me.
The questioner: A Hamidiyyah.
The Shaykh: Yes, he attributed it to me in a strange way, so my answer was that a Muslim wears what he wishes, provided he does not imitate the disbelievers or the open sinners. So what do you want from me now?
The questioner: As for me, the answer is sufficient, if Allah wills, but he is traveling, and in his region they wear this, exactly like what the men of da'wah wear, the turban of the Tablighi men, which they wrap around the head.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: And they leave a tail at the back.
The Shaykh: Yes, that tail is the 'adhabah.
The questioner: It is the 'adhabah.
The Shaykh: Yes, there is no objection to it, provided it is not intended for showing off or distinguishing oneself from the rest of the Muslims.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: And as it was said:
"They made a mark for the sons of the Messenger ** Indeed, a mark is the affair of one who is not famous, one who is not famous"
Yes.
The questioner: So he naturally makes an excuse because he did not know how to express it; he spoke with him.
The Shaykh: In any case, you have understood.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: So convey this to those behind you.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And may Allah protect you, if Allah wills.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : How are you, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
