Buying certain clothes because non-Mahram girl likes them

12-7-2017 | IslamWeb

Question:

Assalaamu alaykum. I had a friend who complemented a hoodie that I was wearing. Because of this, I bought more hoodies like the one I wore. I think that I bought them to impress her; I bought them because I liked them, but I did have her in my mind when I bought them. I have totally blocked her out of my life and discovered that her name had a meaning that contains (polytheism). Does this mean that I have to stop wearing these hoodies?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

You do not have to stop wearing those hoodies as long as they are permissible, but you have to stop befriending non-Mahram (marriageable) women, because relationships between boys and girls under the name of friendship and so on is a door to temptation and a cause that leads to corruption and evil.

For more benefit, please refer to fatwa 81356.

Allah knows best.
