With reference to your answer for Q529, don’t understand the logic behind why we shouldn’t wear half sleeves. The Prophet s.a.w.s. never mentioned anything about it, nor does the Quran prohibit it. So, who are we to make it Makruh on ourselves? If the Honorable Prophet s.a.w.s. did not were a certain type of clothing that does not mean it becomes Haraam or Makruh. Just because he did not wear half sleeves don’t understand why we can’t wear it. It is also possible he might have worn it, and it was not recorded. He s.a.w.s. also did not wear terry cotton, does that mean we shouldn’t either? He did not eat Biryani, does it mean we shouldn’t either? Don’t understand your logic. As long as the Satar is covered, shouldn’t matter if it’s half or full sleeves. Please re-clarify.
In the light of the Koran and the prophetic traditions whatever instructions we find we issue our decrees in its light.
Some issues are very clear and others are not so clear in these revelatory texts that is why we need jurist who can understand both the clear and the hidden injunctions. One of the instructions is to have complete clothing whatever form of clothing one acquires if it is not covering the entire body then it is undesirable. It has been ordained in the Koran that people should adorn themselves at the time of prayers. It refers to the dress code that which was acquired by the prophet peace be upon him. If we have modified our dress code such that it reveals some parts of the body then it would not be considered complete clothing.
Whatever part of the body that is being revealed would not be liked, this is what the jurist have suggested. We don’t fabricate something on our own we base our opinion on their opinions. We believe that we should trust people who are higher and better than us and who know more than us. So one should try to have complete clothing before starting to pray.
