Was the qamis (tunic) beloved to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) because it was modest, or for other reasons? And were trousers (sarawil) present in his era, and what is the legal ruling on wearing them? And should a brother obey his parents who object to him wearing the qamis at the institute, especially since the institute's regulations forbid it, or should he wear it in compliance with the Sunnah?
The basic principle regarding clothing is permissibility unless there is evidence to prohibit it. The clothing most beloved to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was the qamees (a long shirt/tunic) because it is more concealing. If parents order their child to abandon permissible clothing out of concern for him, then obedience to them is obligatory.
