What are the characteristics of the شرعي (Islamically lawful) attire for men?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The lawful dress for a man requires covering what is between the navel and the knee, and that it not be transparent, revealing the skin. It is disliked for it to be tight, defining the 'awrah, and for it to not involve imitation of women or disbelievers in their specific attire.
