I was wondering about the way the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, dressed. What is the Sunnah way of dressing? Are pants ok?

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

The Prophet had many ways of dressing; among them are the following:

•        Qamees (shirt): Imaam Ahmad, Abu Daawood and at-Tirmithi reported from Umm Salamah that she said, "No clothing was dearer to the Messenger of Allaah than (his Qamees) the shirt."

•        Al-Izaar (waist sheet) and Ar-Ridaa (a sheet covering the upper part of body) as narrated in Al-Bukhari and Muslim.

•        Turban, as narrated in Saheeh Muslim from Amr bin Al-Huraith .

Generally, a man can wear what is convenient for him provided the dress is not silky or too long, or prohibited in Sharee'ah (Islamic legislation). Know that Al-Qamees was the dearest dress to the Prophet . It is desirable to wear white according to the saying of the Prophet : “Wear your white garments, for they are among your best garments, and shroud your dead in them.” [Ahmad and others]

Allaah Knows best.
