Question:
What is the ruling on wearing clothes with sleeves above the elbow? And what is the ruling on sleeves that are slightly below the elbow? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
As for the woman, it is obligatory for her to wear loose clothing that conceals her arms and hands from men who are not her mahram (a relative one may not marry). As for the man, there is nothing wrong with wearing long sleeves that reach the wrists or the sides of the arms, or shorter sleeves that reach the forearms or the elbow. The man may wear whatever he wishes, provided there is no distortion in it or any showing off. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
