The Definition of the Sunnah

[Shamlawar Khurasani]

Based upon such fatwas, some Wahhabis/"Salafis" in the West avoid wearing a head cover because according to them it is not customary in the West. This is what "Some of them" refers to.

What is the correct ruling regarding:

1. Imamah and its status as a Sunnah
   
   
2. Wearing clothes that draw attention in an environment astranged from the Sunnah

What is the correct ruling regarding:

1. Imamah and its status as a Sunnah
   
   
2. Wearing clothes that draw attention in an environment astranged from the Sunnah

1. It is recommended.

2. This is understandable. One should be wise about priorities and about how one presents oneself. That perhaps is the consideration of someone who thinks that forgoing a recommended act for some larger good is wiser. But that is very different from the idea that the turban or head cover is only a custom that has no merit.

[Shamlawar Khurasani]

You are just giving me your personal opinion.


You are a layman.

Give me aqwal of ulema. Ulema of early ages. The founders of the schools. Which one of them said that it is recommended?

Thanks a lot Shamlawar
Really your above article clarified many of my misconceptions. Your this sentence has answer to many of my doubts and questions.

This shows that what the Prophet is only concerned with is matters that are related to religion that can get one closer to Allah. On the other hands, acts that are worldly in its context that have no virtue in itself that is mentioned in texts then it is up to people to decide.
