Is wearing the red Saudi scarf a Sunnah?

· 14 Rajab 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is the red Saudi scarf and igaal a sunnat or is it a sunnah of the Saudi dynasty. I know to wear an Imaamah is sunnah mustimirrah, what about a normal khimaar or scarf?

Answer

It is not a sunnat. It is just a style of the saudis.

Khimaar is not a sunnah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
