Islamic Dress Code for Men
Islamically, a dress is supposed to serve two
purposes:
1. Covering the `Awrah (private parts) of the body.
2.
Serving the purpose of adornment and beautification.
Reviewing the
Qur’an, we find that Allah, the Almighty, describes the dress of believers
as “The Dress of Piety” or Libasut-Taqwa, and this exactly emphasizes the
aforementioned two conditions, and stresses that such a dress should never be
used for showing off. Almighty Allah says: “But the raiment of righteousness, -
that is the best.” (Al-`Araaf: 26)
Islam has provided few guidelines to
achieve this quality:
1. The first condition is that the dress has to
be Halal by its origin, i.e. purchased or owned through Halal earning.
2.
The second is that it must not imply imitation of other people’s dress. This
means we should not imitate others’ religious attire or style, as the Hadith
states: “Whoever imitates some people will be ranked among them.” (Irwaa’ul
Ghaleel, Al-Albaani, Hadith no. 2384)
3. The third condition is that the
dress must not carry any resemblance to women’s dress. This means men’s dress
must not involve any kind of feminine style of adornment: pure silk, golden
dress, very bright and fast color, are all considered permissible for women, but
not for men.
Below this level are some cultural choices and this may come
as a second level. But what is important is that Islam promotes unique identity
for Muslims in every action, and this applies to the dress code. So, Islam
encourages the dress which represents the message of Islam, and which
distinguishes Muslims from others.
