Message: <blockquote data-quote="subqi" data-source="post: 7555994" data-attributes="member: 26609">Requirements Of Muslim Men's ClothingIt should be noted that the basic requirements of the Muslim woman's dress apply as well to the Muslim man's clothing with the difference being mainly in degree. This can best be understood by looking into what Islam defines as 'awrah which refers to the part of the body that should be covered at all times unless there is an expressed exception. The covering of 'awrah is also a condition for the validity of prayers for both men and women.It has been agreed among jurists on the basis of the Qur'an and Sunnah that 'awrah for the woman is defined as the whole body except for the face and hands. For the man, the 'awrah is defined as the area between the navel and the knees. 20Within the definition of 'awrah for men and women, all the four basic requirements discussed in this paper are essentially the same:Man should fully cover his 'awrah.Men's clothes should be loose enough so as not to describe what he is covering (his 'awrah).They should be thick enough so as not to describe the color of the skin or the parts required to be covered.They should not be designed in a way to attract attention. The basic rule of modesty and avoiding "show off" applies to all believers men and women.The three other additional requirements discussed under the Muslim woman's code of dress apply to men's clothes as well:They should not be similar to what is known as the female dress.They should not be similar to what could be identified as the dress of unbelievers.They should not be clothes of fame, pride, and vanity.In addition to the above limitations on the Muslim man's clothes, men are not allowed to wear silk and gold. This does not apply to women.ConclusionThere are surely many other issues pertaining to the subjects that are not covered in this paper Its main focus is on the documented injunctions of Allah (subhanahu wat'ala) as derived from His word (the Qur'an) and as explained by the chosen Messenger, Muhammad (peace be upon him). These injunctions are to be complied with by all Muslim men and women; and in case of transgression, they will be held accountable in the hereafter. Truly husbands, fathers, and mothers do have an obligation to remind, exhort and help each other achieve the pleasure of Allah and to avoid His wrath. In the final analysis, however, it is not coercion or force which is likely to bring about obedience to Allah. It is but, the love of Allah, the acceptance of His guidance as the supreme Truth even if contrary to one's personal opinions, that will bring about the change.</blockquote>
