Is it permissible in islam to wear a tie,does it represent the cross.
Answer
Wearing ties nowadays has become a general practise. Muslims and non-Muslims wear it. Therefore, it is not Haraam.
However, it is not free from karaahiyat (reprehensibility). (Fataawa Mahmoodiyah vol.12 ph.407)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
