Asalamoalykum. Please could you elaborate on the clothes worn by our beloved Prophet SAW. Also is it haraam to wear western clothes. Jazakallah.

Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)

The 'Ulama say the dressing of a person is either Waajib (Fardh), Mustahab, Haraam, Makruh or Mubaah (permissible). A person should, when dressing, diligently follow the Mandub (preferred) mode, and abstain from the Makruh mode of dressing. It is Waajib to dress in a manner where the Satr is covered at all times. The Mandub manner is that which the Shari'ah has preferred and induced us to wear, like the wearing of one's best clothing on the two 'Eids, and the wearing of white on Fridays. Makruh is that clothing which the Shari'ah has discouraged us from wearing. For example, a rich person should not always wear torn and tattered clothes, the praiseworthy act for him is to put on such clothes that may indicate the signs of Allah's bounty to him.

Haraam clothing is that which the Shari'ah has prohibited us from wearing:

1) When wearing clothes the intention is to cover and look beautiful, as "Allah is Beautiful and loves beauty." (Muslim)

However, to wear clothes with the intention of pride, arrogance, self-admiration and Riya is Haraam. Therefore, one should avoid extravagance and avoid wearing branded clothes as a status symbol.

Allah Ta'ala says,

"Verily, Allah likes not any arrogant boaster." (31:18)

"Certainly He (Allah) likes not the extravagant." (7:31)

Jundub (RadhiyAllahu Anhu) said: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, "He who so acts to show off, Allah will disgrace him on the Day of Resurrection, and he who does good deeds so that people (may hold him in high esteem), Allah will expose his hidden evil intentions before the people on the Day of Resurrection.'' (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

2) To wear clothes which are worn by the opposite gender.

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) cursed those men who imitate women and those women who imitate men." (Al-Bukhari)

3) It is Haraam for a man to wear silken clothing without a valid Shar'ee reason.

Umar bin Al-Khattab (RadhiyAllahu Anhu) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) saying, "Silk (clothes) are worn only by him who has no share in the Hereafter.'' (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Anas (RadhiyAllahu Anhu) reported: Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) permitted Zubair and `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf (RadhiyAllahu Anhuma) to wear silk because they were suffering from an itch. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

4) It is Haram and sinful to have one's garment, lower garment etc, below the ankles.

It is narrated by Mughirah Ibn Shu'bah (RadhiyAllahu Anhu) that Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,"O Sufyan Ibn Sahl! Do not do Isbaal (letting the garment fall below the ankles), because Allah does not like the one who let their garment fall below the ankles. (Nasai')

5) It will be Haraam and impermissible to wear clothes of non-Muslim having Qasd (intention, resolving) to imitate them and be like them.

It will be Makruh Tanzeehi (Less offensively disliked) to wear non-Muslim clothes, without the Qasd (intention, resolving) to immitate and being like them. However, if such clothes does not cover the Satr (private parts), silk is worn etc, then this will be Haraam.

It will be Haraam and impermissible to wear such clothes which imitates another religion i.e christian clerical collar and its like - such that an onlooker would consider that person from among such people.

Rasullulah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said, "Whosoever impersonates a nation (other than Islam) will be (resurrected) from them on the day of judgment". (Abu Dawud)

Also, one should try to the best of one's ability to totally avoid the resemblance with non-Muslim. Remember, a person should always be identifiable as a Muslim.

(Takmilah Fathul Mulhim Vol.4 Pg.87-89, Taqrir Tirmidhi Vol.2 Pg.331 - Fiqhi Jawahir Vol.2 Pg.47,48, Mufti Faruq Sahib Damat Barakatuhum)

Clothes worn by the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam):

1) It has been reported from Ummi Salamah (RadhiyAllahu Anha): "Rasulullah (Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam) preferred wearing, from among all clothing, the Qamis (Thowb)".

2) Asmaa bint Yazeed (RadhiyAllahu Anha) says: "The sleeve of Rasulullah (Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam's) Qamis reached to the wrists".

Commentary :

This narration apparently contradicts the one where it has been stated that the sleeves of the qamis of Sayyidina Rasulullah (Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam) were a bit longer than the wrist. The 'Ulama have summed up the difference in several ways. Firstly, that at different times it had different lengths. Secondly, that when the sleeves were creased they were above the wrists, and when they were smooth and straight they were over the wrists. Some are of the opinion that both are taken on estimation. In this case there is no difficulty.

Maulana Khalil Ahmad Saahib has written in the 'Badhlul Majhud' that where it is mentioned till the wrists, it is taken to be the best and desirable. Where the sleeves are stated to be longer, it is considered permissible. 'Allaamah Jazari states that it is sunnah that the length of the qamis (kurtah) sleeves reach till the wrists, and that of a jubbah be a bit longer, but in no case should it be longer than the fingers.

3) Ibn Abbas (RadhiyAllahu Anhu) reports that lengthwise, the Kurta of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) would be above his ankles while the sleeves would reach upto his fingers. Allama Munawi writes in his commentary of this Hadith that it is learnt from the coupling of another narration with this one that "Above the Ankles" means the middle of the calf (halfway between the ankles and knees), just as it has been reported in one narration.

(Faizul Qadeer vol. 5 pg.173)

4) Abu Sa'eed Khudari (RadhiyAllahu Anhu) says, "When Rasulullah (Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam) put on a new garment, he would in happiness mention that garment's name. For example, 'Allah Ta'aala gave me this Qamis (thowb, kurtah), 'Amaamah (turban) sheet, etc" Then recited this du'aa:

'Allahumma lakal hamdu kama kasauw- tanihi, as-aluka khayrahu wa-khayra ma-suni'a lahu wa-a'u- dhu bika min sharrihi wa-sharri ma-suni'a lahu'.

Translation

"Oh Allah, all praise and thanks to You for clothing me with this (garment). I ask You for the good of it and the good of what it was made for, and I ask Your protection from the evil of it and the evil of what it was made for."

5) Anas bin Maalik (RadhiyAllahu Anhu) says: "The sheet (body wrap) most liked by Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) was the Yamaani printed sheet."

6) Abu Rimthah Taymi (RadhiyAllahu Anhu) says,"I saw Rasulullah (Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam) covering himself in two green coloured sheets."

7) Ibn 'Abbaas (RadhiyAllahu Anhu) says that Rasulullah (Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam) used to say: " Choose white clothing, as it is the best clothing. White clothing should be worn whilst living, and the dead should be buried in white."

if your trousers fall down during namaz wt do u do??
(for men)

Answer

Bismihi Subhanahu Wa-ta'ala
Assalamooalaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Salaat should be read with Khushu' and Khudhu' (concentration and devotion) consequently, one should not unnecessarily fiddle with clothing as this would detract from the blessings of the prayers. One should make sure the trousers are above the ankles before the Salaah and if they were to slip down then one would not be responsible for this. If it does habitually slip down then one must track the source of this problem and ensure this does not happen. For example, if the trousers are loose around the waist then solve this problem by using a belt or adjusting the length of the trouser of tahband (lunghi) etc. In this case, one would not be plagued with such problems.

Despite taking the necessary precautions before Salaat, if one's trousers slip below the ankles then one should lift them up with one hand.

QUESTION
My trousers length is always below the ankles, but while offering Salat, I always try to fold it up. Does this invalidate the prayers? Is it Makruh to perform Salat with trousers folded up like it is Makruh to offer Salat with sleeves rolled-up?

ANSWER
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
In terms of the validity of the prayer, there is no question that performing Salat with trousers folded up does not invalidate one's prayer.

As for this being disliked (makruh) in Salat, it was explained in a previously posted answer titled: 'Wearing Short-Sleeved Shirts' that the Hanafi jurists (fuqaha) generally consider performing Salat in ways that are contrary to proper etiquettes (adab), such as rolling-up one's sleeves to the elbows, to be Makruh. (Radd al-Muhtar, 1/ 640)

In light of this, it will be Makruh to perform Salat with one's trousers folded-up if they are folded in an untidy and improper way, such that one would feel embarrassed to be in that state in noble gatherings; for example folding the trousers up to or close to the knees. However, if they are folded neatly and slightly, then it will not be Makruh.

As for the Hadith recorded by Imam al-Bukhari in his Sahih from Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said, 'We have been ordered to prostrate on seven bones, and to neither gather a garment nor hair' (Sahih al-Bukhari 777), it refers to lifting or gathering and tying one's garment from the front or back before going into prostration (sujud) to prevent it from touching the floor. This is prohibitively disliked, as it goes against the spirit of Salat which is based on ultimate humility. (See: Imdad al-Fattah sharh Nur al-Idah P: 357 and Tahtawi ala Maraqi al-Falah P 350)

Salaams akhi, the post above doesn't clarify whether it's haram or not, but says Allah does not like it. So I take it if your ankles are not covered then your salah becomes disliked (Makrooh)

A Salafi version.

Ruling on praying with pant legs rolled up

Is it permissible to pray with pant legs rolled up? Does this ruling apply to women?.

Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:�

There are a number of hadeeths which forbid rolling up the garment when praying.�

Al-Bukhaari (812) and Muslim (490) narrated from Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "I have been commanded to prostrate on seven bones: the forehead - and he pointed to his nose - the hands, the feet and the ends of the feet (i.e., toes), and not to tuck up my garment or hair."�

Tucking up the garment or hair means gathering it together to prevent it falling on the floor when one prostrates.�

An-Nawawi said:�

The scholars are unanimously agreed that it is not allowed to pray with the garment, sleeves and so on rolled up. ... All of that is not allowed according to scholarly consensus; it is makrooh in the same that it is discouraged, so if a person prays like that he has done something wrong but his prayer is still valid. Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Jareer at-Tabari quoted as evidence scholarly consensus. Ibn al-Mundhir narrated that the one who does that should repeat his prayer, and he narrated this view from al-Hasan al-Basri. End quote.�

It says in Tuhfat al-Minhaaj, 2/161-162:�

It is makrooh for the one who is praying to tuck up his hair by putting it together or putting it under his headgear, or to tuck up his garment, such as rolling up his sleeve or hem. End quote.�

Based on that, tucking or rolling the pants up is makrooh when praying.�

Secondly:�

There are ahaadeeth which forbid letting the garment hang down or come lower than the ankles (isbaal).�

Al-Bukhaari (5787) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Whatever of the izaar comes lower than the ankles is in the Fire."�

Abu Dawood (4084) narrated from Abu Juray Jaabir ibn Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Beware of letting the garment come below the ankles, for that is conceit and Allaah does not like conceit."

Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood�

So it is not permissible for a man to make his garment so long that it comes below the ankles. If he insists on letting it come below the ankles and wants to pray wearing these pants, then if he leaves them as they are he will be praying with his garment coming below the ankles, and if he rolls them up to come above the ankles, he will be praying with his garment tucked up. In this case we have a conflict between two prohibitions: the prohibition on letting the garment come below the ankle and the prohibition on rolling up the garment when praying. There is no doubt that the ruling on letting the garment come below the ankle is more stringent, because that is a major sin. As for rolling up the garment when praying, it is makrooh (disliked). If there is a conflict then precedence must be given to that which is more important, which is avoiding letting the garment come below the ankle. In that case he should roll up his garment until it comes above the ankle.�

Shaykh 'Abd ar-Rahmaan as-Suhaym was asked:�

I tuck up my pants when praying so that I will not be letting them come below the ankles, but the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade tucking up the garment when praying. Does this apply to tucking up the pants? What is the ruling on that?�

He replied:�

If the pants or trousers come below the ankle, then they must be lifted up, in prayer or otherwise. In fact it is not permissible for them to touch the ankle because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "The izaar (lower garment) should come to mid-calf, but if you insist it may come lower, and if you insist it may come to the bottom of the calf, but it should not touch the ankles."

Narrated by Imam Ahmad and an-Nasaa'i.�

Tucking up the pants does not come under this prohibition because lifting the izaar away from the ankles is a shar'i requirement; in fact it is obligatory, whereas the prohibition on tucking up the garment or the hair signifies that it is makrooh (disliked).

End quote.�

Thirdly:�

With regard to a woman praying in rolled up pants, women are forbidden to pray wearing pants whether they are rolled up or otherwise.�

If she goes against that and prays wearing pants, the prayer is valid in and of itself.�

An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in al-Majmoo' (3/176): If it covers the colour (of the skin) but shows the shape of the body such as the knee and buttock, and the like, then the prayer is valid because the condition of covering the body was fulfilled. ad-Daarimi and the author of al-Bayaan narrated a view that it is not valid if it shows the shape, but this is an obvious mistake. End quote.�

For more information please see the answer to question no. 46529�

If a woman prays wearing pants, she should not roll them up because there is no need for that, as what she is required to do is to cover the tops of her feet when praying, and because the prohibition on making the garment longer then the ankles applies only to men and does not include women.�

And Allah knows best.
