The eighth question of Fatwa No. ( 3810 )
Q8: Is wearing silk forbidden, and does this include synthetic silk?
A8: Wearing natural silk obtained from the silkworm is not permissible for men, as reported by al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) from Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:Sahih al-Bukhari 5837 ; and it is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 5148Sahih (Darussalam) . As for synthetic silk obtained from plants and the like, it is permissible; because the original ruling regarding clothing is permissibility. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
