Narrated Abu Huraira:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I heard Allah’s Messenger (\ufdfa) saying. “All the sins of my followers will be forgiven except those of the Mujahirin (those who commit a sin openly or disclose their sins to the people).<\/strong> An example of such disclosure is that a person commits a sin at night and though Allah screens it from the public, then he comes in the morning, and says, ‘O so-and-so, I did such-and-such (evil) deed yesterday,’ though he spent his night screened by his Lord (none knowing about his sin) and in the morning he removes Allah’s screen from himself.”<\/p>\n

It is considered haram (forbidden) and sinful<\/strong> for men to wear clothing that reveals their knees or thighs in public settings. This remains the case even if the weather is hot or fashion trends make such attire common. Additionally, it is impermissible to intentionally gaze at someone else’s exposed knees or thighs.<\/p>\n

Clothing is a precious blessing from Allah, enabling people to cover their private areas, enhance their appearance, and gain other benefits. It is our responsibility to use this blessing in a way that aligns with Islamic principles and to avoid engaging in actions that Allah has prohibited. Sadly, with the rise of societal evils, Islamic guidelines are increasingly disregarded under the pretext of fashion or convenience.<\/p>\n

Obligation for Men:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Islam clearly outlines that a man’s \ua724awrah (private area that must be covered) extends from below the navel to the bottom of the knees. This region must be concealed from everyone except his wife. Uncovering this area without a valid Islamic reason is forbidden and results in Allah\u2019s displeasure.<\/p>\n

Moreover, exposing this part of the body publicly contributes to the spread of immodesty.<\/strong> The Holy Qur’an provides stern warnings for those who promote such indecency. When people cast lustful glances at exposed body parts, they incur sin, and the person wearing revealing clothing also bears sin for causing others to stumble.<\/p>\n

Men should refrain from wearing clothing, such as shorts, that exposes parts of the body which Islam has commanded to be covered. May Allah grant us the strength to uphold these teachings.<\/p>\n

Amin, for the sake of the Prophet \u0635\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u064f \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0647 \u0648\u0627\u0670\u0644\u0647\u0656 \u0648\u0633\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0645.<\/p>\n
