Machine translationRead the Arabic original
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 garments that cover her arms and hands from men who are not her mahram (close relatives). As for the man, there is no harm in wearing a garment with short sleeves, or long sleeves that reach the wrist or the forearm, or that are shorter than that, reaching the upper arm or the elbow. A man may wear a garment with short sleeves, provided that this does not involve distortion or become a matter of notoriety.
