'These two are unlawful upon the male of my Ummah.'
(Abu Dawood)
The Prophet () said:
'Whoever wears silk in this world will not wear it in the Hereafter. Whoever drinks wine in this world will not drink it in the Hereafter. Whoever drinks from a utensil of gold or silver in this life, will not drink from it in the Hereafter.' (As-Silsilah as-Saheehah) *It is of the Sunnah for men to shorten their clothing49 and for women to lengthen their clothing.
*It is of the Sunnah that one begins to wear his clothing from the right side.
*It is of the Sunnah when wearing new clothing that one says: 'Al'laahum'ma lakal hamd anta ka'so'ta'neeh as'a'loo'ka min khai're'he wa khai're ma su'na'a la'who wa a'oodthu be'ka min shar're'he wa shar're ma su'na-a la-who.'
Meaning: O Allah, all praise belongs to you. You have clothed me with it (i.e. the garment). I ask You for the good of it and the good for which it was made, and I seek refuge with You from the evil of it and the evil for which it was made. *It is of the Sunnah for one to say to him who wears new clothes: 'Ilbis jadeedan, wa ish-hameedan, wa mot' sha'hee'dan.'
