Is it permissible to use masks called "Vengeance Mask" to conceal one's identity, and does their use remain permissible if they are colored black?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to wear the aforementioned mask because it is a garment of the deviant among the people of disbelief, and it involves imitating them and terrorizing the believers. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever imitates a people is one of them," and "It is not lawful for a Muslim to terrorize another Muslim."
