The Ruling on the Secret Habit

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: What is the ruling on using the secret habit?

Answer:
It is forbidden, strictly forbidden, and it also has health and medical harm, so it is not permissible to use the secret habit. Allah the Exalted said:

⁽⁵⁾ And they who guard their private parts ⁽⁶⁾ Except from their wives or those their right hands possess

وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ

[Al-Mu'minun 23:5-6]

So enjoyment is not permitted except with a wife or a slave one owns, and what is beyond that is

But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -

فَمَنِ ابْتَغَىٰ وَرَاءَ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ

[Al-Mu'minun 23:7]

meaning those who transgress from the lawful to the forbidden.
