Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Is it permissible to wear synthetic silk?
Answer:
Yes, if it is not original silk and not genuine silk, but merely a name, meaning it resembles silk in its shine but is not silk, there is no harm in that. The default ruling is permissibility. As for real silk, it is not permissible for men to wear it except in cases of need. If he finds nothing else to cover his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) with, or if he has a skin disease and silk is more suitable for him, such as in the case of sensitivity, there is no harm in his wearing it out of need. Yes.
