Lawfulness to wear Silk in case one is suffering from an Itch
Hadith 810
Anas
reported: The Messenger of Allah
permitted Zubair and `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf
to wear silk because they were suffering from an itch. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith tells us that, if needed, even men can wear clothes made from silk. For example, it may be suggested in case of a skin disease like itch. A man may also be allowed to wear a silk dress in order to escape extremely cold or hot weather provided he has no other clothes.
