No special wedding cloth in Islam
Question: 1348
We are from Fall River High School in California. We would like to know about the materials used in making Islamic bridal dresses as well as any religious significance they might have.
Thank You
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
There isn’t any special material in Islam for wedding cloths. Islamic Sharee’a( Ruling ) is merciful not to place such provisions. However, there are general guidelines like forbidding men from wearing items that are specific to women such natural silk or gold since both degrade manhood. Furthermore; women are forbidden to dress like men. All of this is based on the concern of the Islamic Sharee’a to distinguish between the two sexes since the removal of such distinction is primary causes for corruption and decadence.
