Why do Muslims wear bow ties?

Answer 1

“In Islam we are free to wear anything so long it does not fall into one of the following categories:

1. Extent: The first criterion is the extent of the body that should be covered. This is different for men and women. The extent of covering obligatory on the male is to cover the body at least from the navel to the knees. For women, the extent of covering obligatory is to cover the complete body except the face and the hands upto the wrist. If they wish to, they can cover even these parts of the body. Some scholars of Islam insist that the face and the hands are part of the obligatory extent of ‘hijab’. All the remaining five criteria are the same for men and women.
2. The clothes worn should be loose and should not reveal the figure.
3. The clothes worn should not be transparent such that one can see through them.
4. The clothes worn should not be so glamorous as to attract the opposite sex.
5. The clothes worn should not resemble that of the opposite sex.
6. The clothes worn should not resemble that of the unbelievers i.e. they should not wear clothes that are specifically identities or symbols of the unbelievers’ religions.


A tie does not fall into any of the above categories. It is not considered as being specifically a Christian attire; rather it falls into the category of customs. As far as customs are concerned, the general rule of Shari`ah is that a custom is deemed innocent unless it has been declared haram. Since there is nothing in the sources to declare it haram, it shall, therefore, be deemed as lawful.

In conclusion: Never be bothered by thoughtless remarks of people. Go ahead and wear the tie if you feel like; it is not considered akin to wearing a cross. May Allah inspire us to speak the truth. Ameen.”
