What is wrong with Silk

[شمله ور خراساني]

To understand the importance of silk in those days, you will need to study the history of the Silk War (1392-1401). The Romans not only made silk 'haraam' for the same reason but also waged a long war against Serica as they were losing too much gold to Serica by importing the latter's silk.

LOL,

Very convincing. Tell me, where did you read that prohibition of wearing silk by men in Islam was for economic reasons? Any sources?

Gold and Pure Silk are Haram for Men

Beautification and elegance are not merely permitted but are required by Islam, and in general it repudiates any attempts to prohibit them.

Say: Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has brought forth for His servants, and the good things of His providing? (7:32)
Islam has, however, prohibited two kinds of adornment for men, while permitting them to women. These are, first, gold ornaments and, second, clothing made of pure silk. 'All reported that the Prophet (peace be on him) took some silk in his right hand and some gold in his left, declaring, "These two are haram for the males among my followers." (Reported by Ahmad, Abu Daoud, al-Nisai, Ibn Hayyan, and lbn Majah, who reports the additional phrase, "but halal for the females.") 'Umar reported that he heard the Prophet (peace be on him) say, "Do not wear silk, for those who wear it in this life shall not wear it in the Hereafter." (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim. A Similar hadith is reported by them on the authority of Anas.) On another occasion, referring to a silken garment, he said, "This is the dress of a man who has no character.'' (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim.)

The Prophet (peace be on him) once saw a gold ring on a man's hand. He immediately took it from him and threw it down saying,

'Does a person pick up a piece of burning coal and hold it in his hand?' After the Prophet (peace be on him) had left the place, someone asked the man, 'Why do you not pick it up and benefit from it?' He replied, 'No, by Allah! I shall not pick it up after the Messenger of Allah (peace be on him) has thrown it away.'(Reported by Muslim.)

The same prohibition which applies to the gold ring likewise applies to what we observe among conspicuous spenders, i.e., the gold pen, gold watch, gold cigarette case and lighter, gold teeth, etc.

The Prophet (peace be on him), however, permitted men to wear silver rings. On the authority of Ibn'Umar, al-Bukhari reported the former saying, "The Messenger of Allah (peace be on him) wore a silver ring. After him, Abu Bakr and then 'Umar and 'Uthman wore it, until it fell off his finger into the well of Arees." (Reported by al-Bukhari in the chapter on "Clothing" (Al-Libas).) As for other metals such as iron, there are no sound texts prohibiting them. On the contrary, in the Sahih of al-Bukhari we find that the Messenger of Allah (peace be on him) advised a man who wanted to marry a woman to, "Present her with a gift, even if it be ring made of iron." On the basis of this hadith al-Bukhari inferred the permissibility of iron rings.
The Prophet (peace be on him) made concessions in the wearing of silken garments for medical reasons, as he gave 'Abd al-Rahman bin 'Auf and al-Zubayr bin al-'Awwam, both of whom suffered from scabies, permission to wear silk. (Reported by al-Bukhari.)

[Dawezai]

On another occasion, referring to a silken garment, he said, "This is the dress of a man who has no character.'' (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim.)

"By the lowest reckoning, India, Seres and the Arabian peninsula take from our Empire 100 millions of sesterces every year: that is how much our luxuries and women cost us." —Pliny the Elder, Natural History 12.84


"I can see clothes of silk, if materials that do not hide the body, nor even one's decency, can be called clothes ... Wretched flocks of maids labour so that the adulteress may be visible through her thin dress, so that her husband has no more acquaintance than any outsider or foreigner with his wife's body."
—Seneca the Younger c. 3 BCE–CE 65, Declamations Vol. I

I dont wear silk myself but i dont get worked up abt what others wear or dont wear

lol, if u want to eat pork u will u eat it? ^

Silk is not pork and its not a food item if you didnt know that. Why do you live in a Secular society, isnt that Haraam, you are serving the Kuffur to develop and dominate the world? why do you use the internet instead of spreading Dawah? Its all about personel choice, If mankind wants to use SIlk then its their own personel choice.

[Dreamer]

Bukhari is filled with things that contradict each other.... thats what happens whn u live under the umberella of "sahih" hadith

[Sheenka]

so u r saying that its not haram? ^

[BehavedMaseed]

Sheenkay you have photos revealing a woman with her eyes highlighted which i heard is considered as haraam. So whats wrong with wearing Silk eh?

Are you using the same bukhari who said the prophet has the sexual power of a horse?

When will the Muslim world progress out of this Medevil Age.

On may occasions we only need to use our commonsense.

Hes a perverted person who spoke of the prophet in a sexual manner, he has to be one of the most violent writers of hadiths.
