A Muslim consumer group said that the wearing of pure silk cloths is forbidden among Muslim men. It is not only forbidden but is also a sign of Islam’s apocalypse, a prophetic revelation on the end of days.
The Muslim group said many Muslims here are unaware of this fact, which it said is enshrined in several hadiths, also known as the collection of words and deeds of the Prophet Muhammad.
“Prophet Muhammad has said that Muslim men cannot wear silk and gold.
“Hadiths also state that one of the signs of the apocalypse is when pure silk is being worn, and that there is no awareness about this,” the group's president stressed.
The group further said that pure silk cannot be the way to go for Muslim men and suggested that alternatives to the material be used instead.
When asked to explain how the group might make non-Muslims understand the reasoning behind the banning of pure silk for Muslim men, the group's president, Sheikh Abd Kareem said it was unnecessary.
“When the Prophet says it is forbidden, that means it is forbidden, we listen and abide by it.
“Logic is a (part of human) desire,” he added, saying that when it came to Islam one should not demand a reasoning or explanation on a matter.
But, there is no problems in using silk mixed with other materials such as linen and cotton as there was no hadith which forbade this.
