Wearing the short shurt and praying in it in the mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The third question: I ask Allah to keep you steadfast in obedience, to support you with Islam and the Muslims, and to make you a storehouse for Islam and its people. As advice to our Shaykh, regarding the laxity of some of the young men now, some of them young in age and some older, in wearing short clothes. They wear what is called the shurt, which is above the knee, and they pray in them in the mosques. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The garment should be from the ankle upward. If it goes down to the middle of the leg, it follows the custom of the country; it follows the custom of the country. If the people of the country wear it to the middle of the leg, he wears like them. If they wear it to the ankle, he wears like them. If they wear it below the ankle, he differs from them in that, because that is the isbal (letting a garment hang below the ankles) which is forbidden. So he must adhere to the Sunnah in clothing, and wear the clothing of the country that does not contradict the Sunnah. Otherwise, it becomes clothing of showing off, and there is a warning for the one who wears clothing of showing off, which is contradicting what the people of the country, the Muslims, are upon in clothing and garments that do not contradict the Sunnah. Yes.
