Wearing silk for men, and the permissible amount thereof
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In these days, a garment for men has appeared that contains a percentage of silk. What is the ruling on wearing it if the percentage of this silk is... or is it pure silk?
Answer:
It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Bulugh al-Maram 2:460 So silk is forbidden for men, and permissible for women, except for the space of two fingers, or three, or four, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: addressing the men Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1721Sahih (Darussalam) as narrated by 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) as it came in the authentic collections.
So if the piece in the garment is the space of two fingers, or three, or four; there is nothing wrong with it, such as a patch of silk in the garment, or a button, or a mark of silk, a mark on a garment, made as a mark on a garment, and the like of that. These are permissible. The point is: only the amount of two, three, or four fingers in the garment, and anything more than this in a man's clothing is forbidden from silk.
Question: Natural, or synthetic?
Answer: The point is the silk that is from the known material, from silkworms, I mean.
