Let's get started!
The Meaning of Clothes That Are Haram in Islam
The first important point about "What clothes are haram in Islam?" is understanding the meaning of the phrase "clothes that are haram in Islam." Knowing this will help you follow the discussion in this article.
Is It Haram to Shower Naked in Islam?
Do you know the meaning of the word "haram"? In several previous articles, I've explained that haram refers to something strictly prohibited for Muslims. If a Muslim engages in something haram, they may face punishment in the Hereafter.
So, "clothes that are haram in Islam" refers to garments that Muslims are not allowed to wear. That's the general definition. I'll explain it further in the next section.
Types of Clothes That Are Haram in Islam
The second key point about "What clothes are haram in Islam?" is identifying the types of clothing that are prohibited. I'll explain this in general terms.
In Islam, three types of clothes are haram:
Clothes That Do Not Cover the Aurat
The first type of clothing that is haram is clothes that do not cover the aurat. While wearing such clothes may be permissible in private, it is strictly forbidden in public or around people other than a person's mahram (close family members) or spouse.
Muslims are required to cover their aurat when interacting with others. If you're unsure about what constitutes aurat for Muslim men and women, I've explained it in previous articles. I encourage you to check those out for more details.
Stolen Clothes
The second type of haram clothing is stolen clothes. Islam prohibits stealing, and anything acquired through theft is haram. Thus, wearing stolen clothes is forbidden.
Clothes Made of Silk (for Men)
The third type of haram clothing is garments made of silk. However, this prohibition applies only to Muslim men. Muslim women are allowed to wear silk.
The prohibition for men is clearly explained in the following hadiths:
Hadith 1
عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ : إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَانَا عَنِ الحَرِيرِ ، وَالدِّيْبَاجِ ، وَالشُّرْبِ فِيْ آنِيَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ ، وَقَالَ : هُنَّ لَهُمْ فِيْ الدُّنْيَا ، وَهِيَ لَكُمْ فِي الآخِرةِ . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ
From Hudzaifah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said, "The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from wearing silk and dibaj (a type of silk), and from drinking in gold or silver vessels. He said, 'These are for them (disbelievers) in this world and for you in the Hereafter.'" (Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim)
Hadith 2
عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : حُرِّمَ لِبَاسُ الْحَرِيرِ وَالذَّهَبِ عَلَى ذُكُورِ أُمَّتِي وَأُحِلَّ لِإِنَاثِهِمْ
From Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Wearing silk and gold is prohibited for the men of my Ummah but permitted for their women."
