Men Wearing Trousers

A translation of this fatwa from Naseem al-Sham


Question:

What is the ruling on men wearing trousers? And what is the limit of the izār[1] for trousers? Is it like the thawb…above the ankles?

Answer (from Sheikh Rushdī Salīm al-Qalam):

Trousers are normal clothes nowadays; they’re not exclusive to one nation from amongst all the others. However, it is not stipulated that they be like the thawb, and they should not hang down on the ground.

 [This translation is now available from the English Naseem al-Sham site]


[1] (tn): i.e. the garment that covers the lower half of the body

    Thank you for this translation. Is the shaykh saying that the ruling for pants isn't the same as a thawb and can go below the ankles without any dislike?
