Its ALLOWED
assalamu Alaykum, it is allowed and it is
not copying kufar.
Those who say that this is haram and copying kufar are incorrect Islamically, and also fall into extremism. This is due to their lack of knowledge concerning the meanings and interpretation of the Hadith.
Wearing t-shirt, jeans, shoes, trainers is not haram and not copying kufar, because it is not Khaas. or Only done by non Muslims.. i give fatwa from Shaykh Ibn Uthaymin, at bottom of this post..
Muslims have their own cultures, whether they are Bosnian, Albanian, African, Arab, Kurdish, Turkish, European, Pakistani, Indian, or Kashmiri like you. The culture is often shared between different people of different race or religions. It is not tashbeeh al kufar (copying non-Muslims) to express your own culture. It is only tashbeeh al kufar when you do something Khaas (Specific) to non Muslims..
For example, if you wear a two piece Saffron coloured uniform like a buddhist monk, or if you wear a shiny glove on your left hand like Michael Jackson, or if you copy hairstyles of footballers, or if you do nazi salute when you go home (which nobody should be doing! lol).. At time of the Prophet
growing big curly moustaches was something the fire-worshippers used to do, and was therefore not allowed, as was shaving the hair around the head and leaving only the hair on the top.
These actions above are all "khaas"
explicitly done by group of non-Muslims. This goes against Islam and is a sin.
Wearing a tikka or a white Wedding dress is not haram. It is not even copying Non-Muslims. It is not copying kufar because it is not Khaas. Most Muslims in Middle East and throughout the world wear white wedding dresses. This means that the action is not Khaas anymore. It is therefore allowed.
Likewise, asian people can wear the tikka on their head because it is done by Muslims in their country and it is not seen as something done by Hindus or Sikhs.
The only problem is if someone does something which goes against the Quran and Sunnah. For example, mixed dancing, drinking alcohol, etc... or the bride does not wear hijab.
Shaykh Ibn Uthaymin gave the following fatwa:
"It is permissible for a woman to wear white so long as it is not in the same form as men’s clothing.
With regard to it being an imitation of the kuffaar, that is no longer the case, because now all Muslim women wear such clothes when they are getting married. The ruling depends on whether the reason for it is present or not.
If it is no longer an imitation of the kuffaar and this has now become something that is common to both Muslims and kaafirs, then the ruling no longer applies, unless something is haraam in and of itself and not because it is an imitation of others. Such things are haraam in all cases. " Majmoo’at As’ilat tahumm al-Mar’ah, p. 92 ((
IslamQa ))
Therefore it is important for Muslims to make sure their ideas are in accordace with correct understanding of Islam.. and that they do not fall into extremism. Everyone should remmeber that Allah made Islam very very easy for us all.
