Is it allowed for a girl to wear a mangalsutra (locket) after marriage?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Assalam, I’d like to know whether a girl is allowed to wear the locket ( mangalsutra ) which is weared by many hindu women after marriage? Please clarify.. jazakallah.

Answer

(Fatwa: 196/191=D/1429)

The Hindu women wear manglasutra as part of their religion; therefore it is not right for Muslim women to wear it:

قال النبي صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم: من تشبہ بقوم فھو منھم (أبوداؤد 559، کتاب اللباس)

وقال القاري: من شبہ نفسہ بالکفار مثلاً في اللباس وغیرہ أو بالفساق أو بالفجار أو بأھل التصوف الصلحاء الأبرار فھو منھم أي في الإثم والخیر (مرقاۃ 8:155، کتاب اللباس، الفصل الثاني)
