Is there anything wrong in wearing trousers and shirt in the western society rather than the Jubba?
Question
In a Hadith to the nearest meaning, hte Prophet PBUH said, "Whoever imitates a nation is from amongst them." ('Man ta shabbaha bi qawmin fahowa minhum'). Is this imitating the Kuffaar.
Answer
With regard to pants and shirt, this mode of dressing has not been adopted by the learned and Allah-fearing, hence, attiring oneself in this fashion is not desirable. Moreover, a person would be deprived of the reward he would attain by adopting the Sunnah mode of attire. (Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah, vol.17 pg.349; Mahmoodiyyah)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
