What is the ruling on wearing the new clothes currently displayed at the Sindi exhibition in Jeddah, which feature white embroidery on white garments, and embroidery in a color different from the main color of the garment on colored clothes, given that these embroideries are similar to those found on women's clothing? Does this fall under the category of imitating women?
The mere presence of embroidery or sharing a color or characteristic in clothing does not reach the level of imitating women, as long as the embroidered garment is men's clothing. However, for men to wear clothing specific to women, or vice versa, is forbidden, based on the hadith: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) cursed the man who wears women's clothing and the woman who wears men's clothing."
