Summary
It is forbidden for men to wear pure silk or a blend in which silk exceeds 50% of the fabric. If the silk is equal to the other material (50%) or less than 50%, the garment is permissible since it is not considered a silk garment. Boys are exempted, and a concession is given to men in cases of necessity or need, such as a skin ailment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Haram lelaki memakai pakaian bercampur sutera yang kadar kain suteranya lebih banyak atau lebih 50% berbanding material kain lain.
