Book Name:Shan e Mustafa
* Men should wear only masculine clothing and women should wear only feminine clothing. This distinction should also be taken into account when dressing small children.
* It is stated on page 481, volume 1 of Bahar-e-Shari’at, a publication of Maktaba-tul-Madina: The part of a man’s body from below the navel up to below the knees is ‘Arwaah, i.e. concealing it is Fard. The navel is not included in this but the knees are included.[1]
* It is prohibited to wear clothes out of pride. The way of gauging whether pride is present or not is for one to ponder upon his state before wearing clothes and after wearing them; if it is the same then it will be known that pride was not created due to the clothes. However, if that state no longer remains then pride has arisen. Therefore, he should avoid such clothes as pride is a very evil attribute.[2]
