1. A believer should not feel ashamed to expose his identity as a Muslim and adopt the sunnah attire in his life. Adopting the sunnah attire is a means of identifying with the way of Islam and a means of showing our true love for Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and his mubaarak lifestyle. ^[1]

2. Men should not wear clothing that resembles the clothing of women, nor should women wear clothing that resembles the clothing of men. The Hadith has cursed such men and women who imitate each other in clothing. ^[2]

It is reported from Hazrat Ibnu Abbaas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) that Hazrat Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) had cursed those men that imitate women (in their dressing and appearance), and those women that imitate men (in their dressing and appearance). It is reported that on one occasion, a woman passed by Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) carrying a bow around her neck (in the spirit to imitate the soldiers of Deen). Observing this scene, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “May Allah’s curse fall on those men that imitate women and those women that imitate men in their ways.” ^[3]
