Keeping a rumaal
Question
I have seen some famous Ulama keeping a rumaal (piece of cloth) with themselves. While others dont keep it. Is it a sunnah or mustahab? Is there any reference from the life of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) or Sahaabah (radhiyallahu anhum)?
Answer
This is just out of convenience that they keep a rumaal. I suppose they may be leaving their homes with the rumaal because of weather conditions and when the weather changes they remove it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
