Shorts

Question :

Outside of the prayer, and where there is no chance of temptation, is it permissible for sportsmen to wear shorts? Please mention proofs to support your answer.

Answer:

We hold the view that wearing shorts that expose one's thighs such as swimming shorts - is not allowed, a ruling that applies to the marketplace, athletic field, and in or outside. the Masjid. There may be an exception for a person who is thus exposed in his own home, where he is practicing his trade, for example. The proof is that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw Jirham Al-Aslami with his thigh exposed, he ﷺ said:
"Cover your thigh, for the thigh is 'Awrah."
