Asking one's husband to dress up in a suit
Question
I love how suits look. Is it permissible for my husband to wear it in the privacy of our house? Not to imitate the kuffar. Same as we dress up for the husband at home.
Answer
Suits are part of the kuffaar dress code. It is not part of the Muslim dress code and Islamic culture. Hence, liking this type of clothing is a sign of being inclined towards the kuffaar culture. Make istighfaar for this and forget about it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
