Question
Many people speak against the Akaabir as to why they have not worn a turban. Share some information as to why the Akaabir did not wear Turbans. When it is told to certain people that the Akaabir left out the turban, they say that the Akaabir actions can not be used as daleel in the Shariah. Is this correct? I was told that since a lot of Baatil groups, such as shias, bid'atis, etc also wear turbans, to refrain from Tasabbuh we must refrain from wearing the turban. Is this answer correct?
Answer
The Turban is Sunnah of the Mustahab category. Do not argue with the juahala. Also, do not commit the error of citing the Akaabir in negation of the Sunnah of Amaamah. Not a single one of our Akaabir negated the Sunnat of the Amaamah. In fact, such negation is kufr. The Akaabir who did not don turban had their reasons. This is not an issue to engage in nonsensical dispute as these juhala do.
Any act/practice of Akaabir may not be presented as a daleel in negation of any tenet of the Deen. If the practice of a recognized Aalim of the Haqq appears to be in conflict with the Sunnah, assign an appropriate interpretation, but do not denigrate the Aalim of Haqq nor present him as a daleel.
