Sunnats and Aadaab of Clothing – Part 19

1. When removing clothes, then one should commence removing the clothing from the left side.                                                                           

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم قال إذا انتعل أحدكم فليبدأ باليمين وإذا نزع فليبدأ بالشمال فلتكن اليمنى أولهما تنعل وآخرهما تنزع (ترمذي رقم 1779)

Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “When anyone of you puts on his shoes, then he should commence from the right foot, and when removing (his shoes), then he should commence from the left foot so that the right foot be the first in wearing and the last in removing.” 

2.  It is not permissible for men to wear clothing made of silk. However it is permissible for women to wear silken clothing.

عن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم قال حرم لباس الحرير والذهب على ذكور أمتي وأحل لإناثهم (ترمذي رقم 1720)

Hadhrat Abu Moosa Ash’ari (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Wearing silk and using gold has been made impermissible upon the males of my ummah and made permissible for the females of my ummah.”
