The Shaykh : There is no harm in it; there is no harm in wearing it. However, I mentioned to you yesterday or the day before yesterday that a man should not wear it because of its softness and smoothness, especially if he is young and handsome, as it may lead to great fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
