📥Question:
Does something becoming prevalent and spreading amongst the Muslims make it exit from imitation of the Disbelievers, such as wearing trousers, for example?
Bearing in mind that there are clothing which the basis thereof originated from the disbelievers, such as what is called the tshirts or shirts, and this spread among the Muslims, but the scholars did not consider it to fall under imitation?
📤Answer:
It becoming prevalent alone does not affect the ruling on this issue.
How many impermissible things became prevalent amongst the Muslims, from the things which they imported from the lands of Disbelievers, and mere becoming prevalent did not prevent it from being declared impermissible.
If the affair which became prevalent of their clothing did not include anything which necessitates that it is prohibited; then it is permissible based upon the foundation of the rulings on things which are benefited from.
Like as tshirts, socks, and shoes..
And it will be impermissible if this thing, which became prevalent, contained:
A symbol, from amongst the symbols of the Disbelievers, or something that they use to worship in their religion, or it containing images of animate beings, or that the clothing shows the shape of the Awrah, or that it contains a style which a group of them became famous for, such as the trousers for the American cowboy (jeans), or the trousers of homeless in the streets. (Ripped trousers) and so on.
All of these scenarios fall under the evidence relating the prohibition of imitating the Disbelievers.
Like the statement of Allah the most high:
(وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ نَسُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَأَنسَىٰهُمْ أَنفُسَهُمْۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَٰسِقُونَ)
"And be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient"
[Al-Hashr:19]
And He, exalted is He, said:
(فَٱسْتَقِيمَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعَآنِّ سَبِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ)
"So remain on a right course and follow not the way of those who do not know".
[Yunus:89]
And His statement, exalted is He:
(وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ)
"and follow not the way of the mischief-makers".
[Al-A'raf:142]
And His statement, lofty and magnificent is He:
(وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُوا۟ وَٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَٰتُۚ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ)
"And do not be like the ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great punishment".
[Aal-e-Imran:105]
And it has come in the Hadith of Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever imitates a people is from them".
This it, and the discussion of this issue is extensive and has branches which branch out from this, and what I mentioned is a summary of what I see in this, and Allah knows best.
