Is The Shalwaar, Kameez Sunnah?

 

 

Question:

Assalamualaikum Mufti Saab,

 

Is the salwar kameez (khafni) a sunnat of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH?  I was recently told at university that wearing a jubbah is Sunnat and the khafni was NOT.  

 

However my Amir Saab once told me that the Prophet Muhammad PBUH owned a salwar kameez (khafni) which he received as a gift. 

 

If the former is correct, would one be sinful for deeming the “khafni” an Islamic dress?

 

 

Jazakallah Khair

Answer:

 Fatwaa no.  114/07

                  

  

The Kameez is a Sunnah Libaas of the prophet Muhammad PBUH. He owned a Shalwaar but its wearing is not authentic

And Allah Ta’ala knows best

Mufti Muhammad Ashraf
