| The third question of Fatwa no. 18409 Q 3: What is the ruling on wearing a turban? A: Wearing a turban is part of the customs rather than `Ibadahs (acts of worship). The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to wear it, for it was of the clothes that his people used to wear. There is no authentic Hadith about the favor of wearing a turban, except that the Prophet (peace be upon him) wore it. It is permissible for man to wear what he can afford according to the clothing of his people as long as it is not Haram (prohibited). | | (Part No. 24; Page No. 44) | |
