Wearing white clothes when attending a Hindu funeral
Question
According to the Hindu faith when a person passes away, the people who go to the funeral house must wear white. As a Muslim, would I be sinful if I wore white when going to the funeral house?
Answer
As a Muslim you should not be attending a Hindu funeral. And imitating their customs and ways is an additional sin.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
