Would it be weird to wear an Indian headpiece jewelry?

[empressjamila]

So I’ve been thinking of getting one of this jewelry from the Indian store to wear with my eid outfit. I love headpiece jewelry and I think it would look so good with my dress

but I don’t want to look like a wannabe Indian or culture vulture lol. What do you guys think

 

[Dima&Damo]

Are you indian

 

[notinuse.]

Personally I don't see the problem but if we're talking in genral my advise would be not to wear unless you have Indian friends near you, because if you're just randomly wearing it for no reason other than it looking "pretty" then yeah unfortunately it will give off that wannabe-indian vibe.

Why?

Dirac is mostly for weddings not Eid. It'll be weird if you pull up to Eid Salah wearing a Dirac

And what is that headbonet she wants to wear

Why not eid is a time of celebration like a wedding you should be able to turn up in the same type of outfit

If you're going to wear it at home or a family gathering that's a different story. But Dirac to Eid Salah is weird as some are not appropriate to even pray with and it's too much in general.

That head jewellery?

I've seen many Muslims wear it, it's not something associated with God or anything.

I think it's better to avoid it to avoid imitating the kuffar. It's better to be on the safe side.

I read several Fatwas before posting that comment. It was generally mixed views; some declearing it shirk and others deeming it halal.
I am certain the safe path is to avoid it altogether.

I'm not familiar with that specific item but... if it's something that is considered particular, specific to kuffar- it is bad. but some items are not considered specific... for example wearing a Western style suit.... at one time it would have been particular to them so it would have been bad to wear... but because it is now common amongst Muslims as well and isn't really something particular to the kuffar, it is okay... so that illustrates the general principle and the right approach with the item would be based on which of those two it falls into, whether it's particular to the kuffar or not
