Amazing research and article done by Sidi Salman. Check it out!
salamu `alaykum
Have you ever seen a brother walking around with a t-shirt on? Someone wearing a tie? Dress pants? A sister wearing jeans, modestly covered by a lengthy upper-garment? If you have, then you have also probably seen someone mentioning the impermissiblity of doing so due to it being an imitation of the non-Muslims, something the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) emphatically forbade.

Salam,
It seems that as one growns in one;s imam the natural consequence is the change in the outwardly appearance. When you are surronded by other Muslims it is more peaceful. The same applies to one’s inward journey. The more you aim to please Allah, the easier it is to give up on the need for fashion. Spring is here…what a perfect time to wear Muslim clothing…it is cool and so comfortable to move in..it is more practical. Thank you.
This is a great post, relevant and thorough.
I remember hearing very similar discussions from our Shayookh… that if you go to a village in Saudi and you are dressed in a 3-pc suit and everyone can see the clear imitation, then its a problem. Yet, if the whole village starts wearing suits, then it is no longer considered so. This is REAL FIQH mashallah.

MashaaaaAllaahh….*speechless*…
Barakallaahu feeka, brother Salman.
i dont know who would say its bidah, eventhough most of my teachers are salafi but they reject this statement completely-
wearing western clothing if it adheres to the rules is fine. whoever doesn’t think so is an idiot. Instead of wasting time on this, they should be educating people on Islam.
Wasn’t it Tariq Swaidan who said that the there is no such thing as “traditional Islamic clothing”. He said the Prophet wore anything as long as it covered him. He even wore pants!!! He mentioned this at RIS in 2006. The conference last December in Toronto Ontario.
I think it’s true that Muslims are allowed to wear “non-Muslim clothing” (whatever that means. I guess the shirts deny the obligation of prayer or something) but I still think Muslims should dress nice. Vive Shukr!
