The worst bid’ah with regards to clothing is that of the Rafidah (and some Sufis) who have institutionalised the hideous bid’ah of clerical attire that is literally designated for a specific class of society i.e. the clergy.

This is an ugly bid’ah taken from other polytheists (Church, etc.) and started during the Safavid take-over of Persia (when modern-day Iran was forced from a majority Sunni country into a majority Rafidi Shia one) and is ever since an essential part of their religious institutions (‘scientific seminaries/al-Hawzat al-‘Ilmiyyah’) and those who graduate from them (or are given the ‘blessing’ of wearing the Rafidi turban by one of their scholars).

The Prophet (صل الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم)

– The Prophet (صل الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) used to wear Turbans in different colours (including Black, White and yellow). He never restricted himself to one colour as the Ahlul-Bid’ah and Zandaqa do (with the Rafidah being the worst of all, as they have turned it into a clerical-tyoe attire like in the Catholic Church where only clergymen wear certain clothing!)

– Although the Prophet (صل الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) did wear clothes in different colours (including Turbans) his favourite colour and what he commonly wore and advised others to wear was white:

Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet (صل الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) said: “Wear white clothes as they are from the best of your clothes, and enshroud your dead in them.” [Abu Dawood, At-Tirmithi and Ibn Majah]

– The Prophet (صل الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) used to wear his turban with at least one tail, often two. Yes, there are incidents when he wore a Turban without its tale but these were rare and mainly during warfare.

The Rafidah:

– They have innovated an ugly Hindu-Caste system like Bid’ah of designating certain colours (and cleft attire!) for certain groups only:

So called ‘Sayyids’ (descendants of the Prophet, many of them are non-Arabs to the bilones with no family tree and often despise the Arabs), their laymen, can wear large green shawls (like the followers of Dajjal who will emerge from the heart of modern day Majoosi Iran), green kufis or black ones, the non-Sayyids are not supposed to wear religious attire in green or black!

As for their clergy:

Black is designated for “Sayyids” only whereas white is for non-Sayyids. This despicable Bid’ah itself is less than 500 years old and appeared after the rise of the Safavid Empire (that enforced Twelver Shi’ism on most Iranians). Imagine, even the heretical Pre-Safavid Rawafid didn’t fall into this Church-Hierarchy-style Bid’ah!

– The Rafida wear their turbans like Sikhs do i.e. without tales, yes some of their scholars do let the tale of their turban hang during prayers only but this itself is a Bid’ah (to restrict it to Salah only) and it doesn’t change the fact that the default style of theirs is to wear without letting the tale hang (like Sikh Mushriks).

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said:

‘Prostration is of two types: prostration by way of pure worship, and prostration by way of honouring and greeting showing respect. As for the former, it can only be done for Allah.’

[Majmu‘ al-Fatawa (4/361)]
