The candelabrum (menorah) mentioned is a religious symbol for the Jews, and adopting it constitutes a clear imitation of them. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade imitating non-Muslims. Imitating disbelievers in matters specific to their religion, such as clothing, holidays, and acts of worship, is forbidden and can even lead to disbelief.
