What is the ruling on young men in Gaza wearing long shorts and sleeveless shirts due to the heat, and do these clothes conform to Allah's saying: "O Children of Adam, take your adornment at every place of prayer"? Is this considered a breach of manliness (muru'ah)? What is the ruling on wearing them in imitation of Jews and Christians, or wearing them for an unhirsute youth and causing temptation, or when those who wear them mix with women in the markets?

There is no harm in such clothing as long as it covers the 'awrah and is not specific to disbelievers. Customs and traditions should be observed regarding decorum. As for one who wears it with the intention of imitating disbelievers, then he is among them. It is advisable to be cautious about wearing such clothes for beardless youths, those with handsome faces, and young men when mixing with women, because anything that causes temptation is impermissible.
