Wearing a black kurta

Question

Question: What is the ruling on a Muslim man tying a black waist-wrap, wearing a black kurta (long shirt) or wearing a black waistcoat?

Answer

It is permissible; but when it is the distinctive mark (shi‘ar) of some group of fussaq or kuffar — as it is the distinctive mark of the Rafidites in Muharram — then one should keep away from it.
