Imam Jaffer us Sadiq<sup>AS<\/sup>\u00a0instructs: Wear clothes of cotton, they were Rasulullah&#8217;s<sup>SA<\/sup>\u00a0clothes, as they are ours. Rasulullah<sup>SA<\/sup>\u00a0did not wear wool or fur; don&#8217;t wear these except in times of necessity. Further, Rasulullah<sup>SA<\/sup>\u00a0preferred white clothes to other colors.<\/p>\n<p>During winter, Imam Mohammed ul Baqir<sup>AS<\/sup>\u00a0donned silken robes which were valued at a thousand dirhams. A year later, he gave them away as <em>sadaqa<\/em>. Someone asked: Why don&#8217;t you sell off the clothes and give alms from the amount you get? The Imam<sup>AS<\/sup>\u00a0replied: I prefer not to sell the clothes I have prayed in.<\/p>\n<p>Cloth woven from plant fibres is <em>halal<\/em> to wear. Similarly the fur of <em>halal<\/em> animals that have been sacrificed <em>(zabihat)<\/em> can be worn.<\/p>\n<p>Women should not pray without gold or silver ornaments on their hands as they should not pray without henna on their hands. Women should refrain from thudding their feet as they walk so as not to attract attention to themselves.<\/p>\n<p>When Rasulullah<sup>SA<\/sup>\u00a0saw a metal ring on a man&#8217;s finger he exclaimed: This is an ornament of the people of hell. The man threw away the metal ring and wore one of gold. Rasulullah<sup>SA<\/sup>\u00a0said: As longer as you wear that your finger is in hell-fire. The man asked: Should I not wear any kind of ring? Rasulullah<sup>SA<\/sup>\u00a0replied: You should wear a ring of silver. It has also been said that a ruby ring is <em>maimoon<\/em> and <em>mubarak<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>A chapter is devoted to oils and fragrances. Rasulullah<sup>SA<\/sup>\u00a0said: Attar enhances the mind. While Imam Jafer us Sadiq<sup>AS<\/sup>\u00a0reiterated: The ornament of a man is scent manifest and color hidden, while that of a woman is color manifest and scent hidden. A man must apply <em>attar<\/em> on Friday, even if it means borrowing it from his wife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Allah is exquisite, he likes the exquisite&#8221; says the Quran.
