Q
What is the Islamic perspective on wearing silk for men, and why was it forbidden by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)?
A
A Jubba (i.e. cloak) made of thick silken cloth was presented to the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) used to
forbid people to wear silk. So, the people were pleased to see it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “By Him in Whose
Hands Muhammad’s soul is, the handkerchiefs of Sa`d bin Mu`adh in Paradise are better than this.”
Anas added, “The present was sent to the Prophet (ﷺ) by Ukaidir (a Christian) from Dauma.”
