Treating the West: Ruling on Selling, Buying, and Wearing Foreign Clothes

English:

Question #1365:

What is your view on selling, buying and wearing foreign clothes?

Answer #1365:

There is no objection to importing, selling, buying, and using such clothes merely due to their being imported from non-Islamic countries. But it is not permissible to import, sell, buy, or wear that which would constitute an affront to Islamic decency and morals, or what would be seen as the promotion of Western culture which is the enemy of the Islamic one.
