Is wearing artificial silk forbidden for men?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The legal texts that prohibit silk for men pertain to natural silk extracted from silkworms, and the prohibition does not include artificial silk. However, if artificial silk closely resembles natural silk in appearance and material, it is preferable for men to avoid it due to the possibility that the reason for the prohibition might apply.
