The Permissible Amount of Silk in a Garment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The limit the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted regarding a small amount of silk is four fingers. Does this refer to the total amount in the garment, or does it refer to a single location, such that it is permissible to have a width of four fingers on the sleeve and four fingers in another place?
Answer:
Yes, that is correct. The embroidery may be on the sleeve, on the pocket, or on the waistband, provided it is the size of four fingers and does not exceed that.
