Answer:
Dress code clothing in Islam
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah and His Messenger (saws) have neither specified nor
limited the believers to a particular Islamic dress, but rather gave some
conditions which the dress one adorns himself/herself with must be fulfilled:
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah
Aaraaf verse 26:
26 O ye children of Adam! We have bestowed clothing upon you to cover
your shame as well as to be an adornment to you; but the clothing of
taqwa (piety, righteousness, etc.) that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah that they
may receive admonition!
Provided that the below five conditions of apparel are not
violated, there is absolutely no restriction on the type or color of clothing
the believers are allowed to wear in Islam:
- Clothes
worn should not announce arrogance.
- The
satr of the person (man or woman) must be covered.
- The
clothes worn must not be tight so as to display ones figure and
curves, and should not be
transparent.
- The
clothes worn must not be an imitation of the pagans or disbelievers.
- Men
should not imitate women in their clothing; nor should women imitate men
in their clothing.
Thus if the culture or tradition of the people where one
resides is shirts and pants, skirts or blouses, saris, or whatever else; there
is absolutely no harm if a believer adorns themselves with his/her prevalent
clothes, as long as none of the above conditions of Islam are violated.
There is absolutely no harm if the believing woman wishes
to wear a long skirt, provided the above listed conditions are not violated.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allahs Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
