Abstract

Islam is a religion which lays down rules based on the dictates of the pure nature innate in all humans (fitrah), straight forward reasoning and sound logic. The general rule in the Sharee‛ah is that all types of clothing and adornment are allowed within limits and code of life. Indeed, Islam does not require Muslims to wear a certain type of clothing. It considers all types of clothing lawful as long as such clothing serves the required purposes without exceeding the bounds set by Islam in this respect. The basic message and instruction expressed in the Qur’an is for Muslims to act modestly, dress modestly, and avoid drawing attention to oneself, especially those features that are physically attractive and perhaps enticing to the opposite sex. This applies for both men and women. This article deals with the word “LIBAS”i e, dress, cloth, according to, Hadiths, grateful sayings of Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). We present the Rhetorical Peculiarities of the ahadith of al Sihah al sittah in this valuable paper to show the value of Islamic dressing. The hadith address women’s and men’s dress.
