You can wear a tie…It’s all good.
Salam Yo,
Tying a tie is a mission, wearing it is even harder nowadays. Recently I’ve been coming across random brother’s who believe that wearing a tie is haraam. Chill out! You gotta look fresh sometimes and coming with the argument that it’s impermissible to wear a tie does not have a sound basis. No I’m not saying this because I like imitating the kuffar but Top scholars such as Mufti Taqi Usmani have said that your allowed to.
You seen my man Zakir Naik rocking a new tie and suit every time he air’s out his challenger in a debate. That’s because our beloved Prophet Muhammad (s) used to look his best whenever he went out. YOUR REPRESENTING ISLAM! keep that in mind. People like to O.D. (overdose) on the phrase “imitating the kuffar”. On the weekend I went to Ilm fest and Shaykh Yasir Qadhi spoke about this issue also. He said that wearing a tie is permissible, in addition he also stated that imitating the kufr is when you give up your beliefs for something else. Such as celebrating christmas, easter, so on and so fourth.
At the end of the day the Shariah has guidelines for both how men and woman should dress and we should’nt take things out of context. One thing that’s interesting to me is that I have never seen Shaykh Hamza Yusuf wear a tie. hmm..wonder why? Besides that point he is what Shaykh Faraz Rabbani from Sunnipath had to say
The fuqaha have talked about this extensively. The conclusion is that it is permitted to wear ties, though better not to when reasonably possible.
It is not considered imitation of the kafirs because it is not something that is uniquely characteristic of them, unless one does so because one WANTS to be like kafirs are. The argument that the origins of ties are the Christian cross have not sound basis, as Mufti Taqi Usmani and other scholars have showed.
And Allah knows best
Wassalam,
Faraz Rabbani
Check it out, if your still having doubt’s then you can even buy non silk ties from here.
To wrap it all up, I had to watch a video from you tube to learn how to tie a tie. Inshallah just keep this information in mind and keep yourself looking fresh for the ummah. I know you want to wear one on your wedding day.
Would you wear a tie? Why or Why not? Holla at me. Wasalaam.
