Sister suduko, please show me anywhere in the hadith books that says Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him wore topi, kurta and all these other clothes.

Theres something going on here..it seems people of South Asian background want to impose their culture specific understanding of Islam on others. It's really sad and infuriating to see reverts being pressurised to wear other people's ethnic dress. I can understand if you dislike western dress personally or because of colonialism. But aren't you lot behaving like the British now? thinking and believing that your cultural dress is superior and more worthy to be worn??

Very sad state of affairs

You are right, it is a sad state of affairs indeed.. People seem to want Islam and the sunnah to be whatever they wish it to be, rejecting things without even considering there might actually be a proof. If I bring a proof that Rasulullah

wore a topi, will you believe that proof? Or will I just be wasting my time searching for ahadeeth which will later be called 'daeef' or 'fabricated'. Nevertheless, here is some below.

Question: What is the ruling on a topi in shariah? sunat, mustahab ect? If it is possible can you please provide daleel?

Answer: In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,

Wearing a hat (Qalansuwa in Arabic) is the Sunnah of our blessed Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace), Sahaba (Allah be pleased with them all) and the great scholars and pious predecessors of this Ummah.

There are many evidences which support this. Just to mention a few:

1) Abdullah Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) used to wear a white hat (Recorded by Tabrani).

2) Hasan al-Basri (Allah be pleased with him) says: “The people (Sahaba-Allah be pleased with them all) used to perform Sajdah (prostration) upon their turbans and hats (Sahih al-Bukhari, 1/151).

3) Rukanah (Allah be pleased with him) says, I heard the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) say: “The difference between us and the polytheists is, wearing the turban over the hat” (Sunan Abu Dawud, 4075 & Sunan Tirmizi, 3919).

4) In the ‘Musannaf’ of Ibn Abi Shaybah, the wearing of a hat is reported from Ali ibn al-Husain, Abdullah ibn Zubair, Dahhak and Abu Musa (Allah be pleased with them all).

It is clear from the above that wearing a hat is a Sunnah. It has been the practise of the Ummah throughout history, and has become one of the symbols of Islam.

The great Hanafi jurist, Mullah Ali al-Qari (Allah have mercy on him) states that the wearing of the hat has become one of the salient symbols of Islam. (Mirqat al-Masabih, vol.8 pg.246).

Due to the above, the scholars mention that even though, not wearing a hat can not be classed as unlawful (haram), as it is a Sunnah, but due to the fact that it has become one of the signs of Islam, it is generally undesirable to keep the head exposed. One should try to keep the head covered whenever reasonably possible.

And Allah knows best

wore or not. But, the majority of the Muslim will agree that he did indeed wear a topi and turban.

Wassalaam
