Question:
Dear Moulana Sahib Assalamualaikum,
I’ve applied for a job and was interviewed. They want me to wear a neck tie to work. What should I do? Please advise. Thank you.
Jazakallah. Wassalaam.
Answer:
Wearing the neck tie is not considered as a religious issue according to Christians. It is rather part of the dress code of a “gentlemen.” We do not advise you to wear it. However, if you are unable to find another job then you can wear it to work only.
And Allah Ta’ala knows best
