Men's Dress & Grooming

Beards, clothing, gold, silk and grooming rules for Muslim men. Short, honest answers for new Muslims.

Can Muslim men shave their legs for sports?

Yes, Muslim men can shave their legs for sports. Leg hair is neutral in Islam; just avoid imitating women and keep your awrah private.

Most scholars say Muslim men can't pluck or shape their eyebrows for looks, but many allow trimming long hairs and removing a unibrow.

No, a normal fade haircut is not haram for most scholars. Learn how it differs from qaza' and which skin fades and shaved lines to avoid.

Yes, Muslim men should trim their mustache: it's a sunnah of fitrah. Keep it off the upper lip and don't leave it longer than 40 days.

Yes, you can cut your nails while in janabah. No authentic text forbids it, and the claim that clippings return impure has no reliable source.

If you can't grow a beard as a Muslim, there's no sin: Allah only asks what you can do. Leave what grows, keep it neat and focus on your heart.

Usually not over ordinary shoes. Most scholars allow wiping only over footwear covering the ankles, like khuffs or boots, put on after wudu.

Yes, Muslim men can trim nose and ear hair. It fits Islam's fitrah grooming; trimming is safer than plucking and it doesn't break wudu.

Yes, Muslim men can wear kohl. It's a sunnah the Prophet practised; keep it simple, avoid feminine eyeliner looks and use lead-free products.

Yes, most scholars say Muslim men can get a hair transplant, since moving your own hair restores a loss rather than changing Allah's creation.

Only if it's tight. Water must reach the skin under a ring in wudu. Loose rings, wedding bands, watches and bracelets explained simply.

It depends: remove a clip-in wig and wipe your own hair. For glued hair systems, many scholars allow wiping over them, especially for hair loss.
