Dressing Simply

Condition: I like beautiful and good clothes and shoes. How is it to purchase and wear these? Does this entail love for the world? Will it be an obstacle to the love of Allâh Ta’ala entering my heart?

 Answer: Paying too much of attention to this is not good. It is the habit of women to wear a new set of clothing for every different occasion. As long as you have clothes, shoes, etc. do not purchase new ones unnecessarily. Wear the same clothes for all occasions. Hadrat Thânwî rahimahullâh said: “The woman from whose heart the love of jewellery and clothes has come out, it is a sign that she has become a person of nisbat (close affinity with Allâh Ta’ala).”
