What is the ruling on using clothing of the kuffar (unbelievers)?

Praise be to Allah.The use of clothing of the kuffar (unbelievers) which they have worn

is permissible as long as there is no known najasa (impurity)

regarding it, because the default for things in general is tahaarah

(purity) and it is not overridden by mere doubt. Likewise, what they

have woven and dyed and what has been imported from their

countries are also permissible, as long as they do not comprise

anything haram (forbidden), because the Prophet

(peace be

upon him) and his sahaba (his companions) wore items the kuffar

had woven and made, and likewise the Prophet

(peace be

upon him) wore a Roman jubba (a long outer garment, open in front,

with wide sleeves).
