Q:<\/strong><\/span> I had always been taught that the topi is the crown of a believer and part of the Sunnat attire. However, I was recently told by a close friend that the topi is not part of the Sunnat attire and has no basis in deen. It was worn in the time of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and the Sahaba (Radhiyallahu Anhum) as a customary or traditional dress. Could you please enlighten me with regard to the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

Is any mention of the topi made in the Ahaadeeth? <\/span><\/p>\n

What importance did the topi hold in the sight of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and the Sahaabah (Radhiyallahu Anhum)?<\/span><\/p>\n

A:<\/strong><\/span> Wearing the topi is a Mubarak Sunnat of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and a salient feature of Islam. It is reported in authentic Ahaadeeth that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and the Sahaba (Radhiyallahu Anhum) wore the topi while performing Salaah as well as out of Salaah. <\/span><\/p>\n

During the Khilafat of Hazrath Umar (Radhiyallahu Anhu) the kuffaar began wearing topis and turbans in order to deceive the Muslims and receive the same recognition in society which was afforded to the Muslims in the Islamic state. When Hazrath Umar (Radhiyallahu Anhu) perceived this he immediately prohibited them, and drew up a constitution which was governed by the Sunnat of Rasulullah <\/span>(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/span>. He enshrined in the constitution the distinguishing characteristics and salient features of Islam and thus prohibited the kuffaar from adopting these codes of conduct and Islamic attire. Just as he prohibited the kuffaar from adopting the ways of the Muslims, he prohibited the Muslims from emulating the ways of the kuffaar and their lifestyles. Among the issues underlined by Hazrath Umar (Radhiyallahu Anhu) in the constitution was that there be marked differences between the Muslims and non-Muslims in the following aspects:<\/span><\/p>\n

The Muslims should be completely distinct from the non-Muslims in their mannerisms, behaviour, dressing, and dealings. They (the kuffaar) should not wear the topis of the Muslims nor their turbans. Below is part of the constitution of Hazrath Umar (Radhiyallahu Anhu) which he enforced upon the kuffaar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ibn Taimiyyah (Rahmatullahi Alayhi) states in his kitab \u2018Iqtidha us Siraatil Mustaqeem\u2019: \u201cIndeed the Leader of the Believers, Umar (Radhiyallahu Anhu) in the presence of all the Sahaba (Radhiyallahu Anhum) drew up the constitution which he enforced upon the Zimmis (Christians, Jews etc.) residing in an Islamic state that they abide by the under-mentioned laws: <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u201cWe (the non-Muslims) will honour and revere the Muslims.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u201cWhen they enter the gatherings we (the non-Muslims) will stand up in honour for them and allow them to be seated in our places if they intend sitting.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \n

    \u201cWe <\/strong><\/span>(the non-Muslims) <\/span>will not resemble them in their dressing and attire, neither will we wear their topis nor turbans.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Khaalid bin Urfutah says that Umar <\/span>(Radhiyallahu Anhu) had written to the governors of the various towns regarding the Christians: \u201cThey should not adopt the attire of the muslims in order that they be distinguished.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Ibn Taimiyyah (Rahmatullahi Alayhi) states that all the muslim leaders that had followed as well as the Jurists, implemented the constitution of Umar (Radhiyallahu Anhu) in every era.<\/span><\/p>\n

    During the khilaafat of Umar bin Abdil Azeez, the disbelievers began adopting the clothing of the muslims. In order to create a distinction between them and the muslims he issued the same ruling of <\/span>Umar <\/span>(Radhiyallahu Anhu) that they should not wear the clothing of the muslims.<\/span><\/p>\n

    We clearly gauge from the above that the topi and turban were among the salient and distinguishing features of Islam from the time of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and Sahaba (Radhiyallahu Anhum). <\/span><\/p>\n

    Hereunder a few authentic Ahaadeeth shall be presented to further elucidate the position of the topi in the life of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), Sahaba (Radhiyallahu Anhum) and Taabi\u2019een.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas<\/span> (Radiyallahu Anhu) reports that <\/span>Rasulullah<\/span> (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/span> used to wear a <\/span>topi<\/span> under the turban and at times he <\/span>(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/span> used to wear the turban without the <\/span>topi<\/span>. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Apart from the above-mentioned <\/span>Ahaadeeth <\/em><\/span>there are many other <\/span>Ahaadeeth <\/em><\/span>which are reported in various compilations which we have deliberately omitted for the purposes of brevity.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    From the above-mentioned authentic <\/span>Ahaadeeth<\/em><\/span> we conclude that the <\/span>topi<\/em><\/span> is a Mubarak sunnat of <\/span>Rasulullah<\/em><\/span> (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/span> and a salient and distinguishing feature of Islam. In every era of Islam commencing from the era of<\/span> Rasulullah<\/em><\/span> (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/span> special importance and significance was afforded to the <\/span>topi<\/em><\/span>. We will quote the saying of <\/span>Ibn Taimiyyah (Rahmatullahi Alayhi) which will shed some light on the position of the topi in Islam.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Ibn Taimiyyah (Rahmatullahi Alayhi) says after mentioning the Hadith of <\/span>Hazrat Rukanah<\/em><\/span> (Radiyallahu Anhu):<\/span><\/p>\n

    Hazrat Rukanah (Radiyallahu Anhu)<\/span> narrates, \u201cI heard <\/span>Nabi<\/span> (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/span> saying, \u2018Verily, the distinguishing feature between us and the <\/span>Mushrikeen<\/span> is that we wear the turban over the <\/span>topi<\/span>\u2019.\u201d <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Imaam Abu Dawood (<\/em><\/span>Rahmatullahi Alayhi)<\/em><\/span> narrated the <\/span>hadith<\/em><\/span> of<\/span> Rukanah (Radiyallahu Anhu)<\/em><\/span> without explaining any flaws or weaknesses in the chain. This is indicative of this <\/span>hadith<\/em><\/span> being hasan (authentic) according to him. Though this <\/span>hadith<\/em><\/span> is regarded as weak according to Imaam <\/span>Tirmizi<\/em><\/span> (and others), it is not of such a nature that it cannot be used to support and corroborate what is already established through other authentic <\/span>ahaadeeth<\/em><\/span>. It is evident that creating a distinction between a muslim and non-muslim by means of clothing and attire (topi, turban etc.) is a command of Allah. Despite it being possible for a <\/span>mu\u2019min<\/em><\/span> to be distinguished from a <\/span>kaafir<\/em><\/span> through his beliefs and actions <\/span>Nabi<\/em><\/span> (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)<\/span> commanded that an additional measure be adopted i.e. a mu\u2019min be completely distinct from a disbeliever in his attire and appearence.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Q: I had always been taught that the topi is the crown of a believer and part of the Sunnat attire. However, I was recently told by a close friend that the topi is not part of the Sunnat attire and has no basis in deen.
