Takeaways

• 😀 Men are prohibited from wearing silk and gold as it conflicts with their nature and could cause negative effects, including physical and psychological discomfort.
• 😀 Men should avoid 'isbal,' which means wearing clothing that extends below the ankles. This is seen as a sign of arrogance and is strictly forbidden.
• 😀 Women are encouraged to cover their entire bodies, except for the face and hands, to ensure they are recognized as Muslim women and protected from harm.
• 😀 Cross-dressing is prohibited in Islam. Men should not wear women's clothing, and women should not wear men's clothing, as this behavior is cursed by the Prophet (SAW).
• 😀 It is recommended to thank Allah and recite a prayer when putting on new clothes, asking for goodness and protection from any harm associated with the clothing.

• 😀 Modesty is not only about clothing but also about behavior. Wearing clothing should not lead to arrogance or ostentation, and one should avoid dressing in a way that reflects pride.
• 😀 The prohibition of 'isbal' (clothing hanging below the ankle) is tied to the avoidance of pride and arrogance. It is a behavior condemned regardless of the individual’s intent to be humble.
• 😀 It is essential to recognize that Islam teaches the proper conduct of clothing as part of a broader principle of modesty, which includes humility and submission to Allah.
• 😀 Violations of these modesty rules, such as wearing clothing inappropriately or with arrogance, are considered serious sins, and there are severe punishments mentioned in the hadith for those who disregard these guidelines.
