Accepted Answer

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 kind of silk that is prohibited for men, based on Sharee'ah texts, is the natural silk that comes out of the silkworm. This ruling is not applicable to artificial silk, which means that it is not prohibited. But if synthetic silk is very similar to natural silk, in terms of material, and looks exactly like it, then it is better for men to abandon it because the reason for which natural silk is prohibited is there.

Allaah Knows best.
