Jeans Culture
Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “There are two groups of the inmates jahannam whom I have not yet seen (they will appear after my demise). One of the groups are women who will be clothed, yet naked. They will attract others and they will be attracted by others. They shall not enter Jannah nor will they attain its fragrance, whereas its fragrance can be perceived from a great distance.” (Saheeh Muslim #5582)
The men and woman, the young and old, the rich and poor, all seem to be caught up in the jeans culture and in donning other revealing garments. Such a garment had to be designed which is body hugging, shape revealing, eye catching, tempting and appealing; ideal to destroy the moral fiber of any community by leading them into shamelessness, immodesty, fornication and adultery. Among other such garments the figure hugging jeans qualified the description and fulfilled the requirements.
Hazrat Ibnu Abbas radiyallahu anhu said: “Allah’s messenger sallallahu alayhi wa salam cursed the man who puts on female clothing and the woman who wears male clothing.” (Saheeh Bukhari #5885)
While a Muslim has to be properly attired at all times, the emphasis is greater when he stands for Salaat. The Qur’aan and the Sunnah instruct the adoption of adornment for Salaat. Garments of adornment are such clothes which are regarded as Islamic dress.
The garments should be loose-fitting so that the body’s shape is not lewdly exhibited. It is incumbent to be dressed Islamically at all times, not only for Salaat purposes. This incumbency has greater emphasis with regard to Salaat. It is Makrooh Tahrimi (forbidden and sinful) to be dressed un-Islamically, i.e. with western or any other kuffaar garb. The Salaat performed while dressed un-Islamically is discharged defectively. It becomes obligatory to repeat the Salaat with Islamic attire. It is haraam to be dressed with jeans, T-shirt, bermuda pants, tight-fitting trousers, western shirt, garb with logos, and all types of non-Muslim dress when performing Salaat.
