Abstract: Socio-cultural interaction has formed transfers, borrowing and cultural imitation between one society to another. This process generates symptoms of sameness or in the jurisprudence terminology it’s called as al-tasyabbuh. Basically not all tasyabbuh are prohibited as long it can contribute a benefit to the Islamic society, while tasyabbuh are not permissible which the symptoms that can harm the Islamic society, such as the imitation of non-Muslim way of life, their festivals and customs practices. This imitation will eradicate the identity of Islamic society. Therefore, this research will discuss about the perspective of Ibn Taymiyyah on tasyabbuh upon his work on Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim Mukhalafah li Ashab al-Jahim. In most of the discussion of his work, Ibn Taymiyyah focuses on al-tasyabbuh in the issues which related to the practice among Muslims and non-Muslims. He explores the interpretation of the verses of the Qur'an, Hadith and athar of the Companions which parallel with tasyabbuh. It was found that he had a fixed and rigid perspective according to imitate (tasyabbuh) the non-Muslims, especially in their religious aspects.
