Aslam

general Sign in to save

What is your opinion on the new fashion [in the Arab world] of people wearing caps with a visor in front [i.e., baseball caps]?

Praise be to Allah.

It is not permissible for a Muslim to imitate the kuffaar in

his dress. If wearing these caps or anything else is one of their

distinguishing features and something for which they are well are known and

by which they are distinguished from others, then it is not permissible for

the Muslim to wear those things. But if it serves some purpose and it is not

something that belongs exclusively to the kuffaar, such as hats worn for

work on building sites or in other workplaces, which are worn to protect the

head and shade the eyes from the sun, there is nothing wrong with doing

that. But if the hat is worn with the visor to the side or the back, this is

not appropriate for the Muslim youth.
