23: Silk garments
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:
“Do not wear silk, for whoever wears it in this world will not wear it in the Hereafter.”
[Reported by Muslim (2069)]
And he ﷺ said:
“Gold and silk are permitted for the women of my nation, and forbidden for its men.”
[Ṣaḥīḥ An-Nasāʾī (5148)]
It is permissible to wear it for someone who has a skin ailment or similar condition; as narrated from Anas, who said:
“The Prophet ﷺ permitted Az-Zubayr and ʿAbdurraḥmān to wear silk due to itching.”
[Reported by Al-Bukhārī (5839)]
