Attending Janazah Prayer in ornate garments

Q 2: What is the ruling on attending Janazah (Funeral) Prayer in ornate garments, (Part No. 7; Page No. 264) such as wearing Mashlah (a Palestinian, simple, man's coat-like garment made from cotton and decorated with embroidery), which has grown to be a custom followed by some and has widely spread in society?


A: There is nothing wrong in wearing ornate garments by men offering Janazah Prayer over the deceased, provided that they do not believe that this is Mustahab (desirable) for Janazah Prayer in particular.
