Wearing an Imamah?

Question

i am a school-boy who recently started wearing the turban everywhere i

go(eg.to school,the musjid etc.).am i following the sunnah correctly?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

To wear a turban is indeed a sunnah.[1] You inquire whether you are following the sunnah correctly. Why do you ask so? Did anyone raise objections on you wearing a turban? If so, what is the objection?

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
