A traditional Pheta (Turban) is usually long cloth typically 3.5 to 6 meters long and 1 meter wide. The choice of color may indicate the occasion for which it is being worn and also may be typical to the place it is being worn in.

Around what dimensions should the turban cloth be?

Alafia Rashid

Community Answer

Depending on shape of your face and beard you can select turban size. There is no particular dimension, the length matters on the ritual too, usually it is six yards.

Question

What if someone asks if you are a genie?

WawaWawa

Community Answer

If someone asks if you are a genie, you can simply respond by saying that you are not a genie. Genies are fictional characters that are typically depicted as supernatural beings that can grant wishes. If the person who asked you if you are a genie was joking or making a reference to the genie character from popular culture, you could respond with a lighthearted remark or a joke to acknowledge the reference.
