Tehran enforces Islamic dress code Sharia crackdown in Iran. From the Telegraph, via the Washington Times, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm: September 01, 2006 LONDON -- Police in Iran's capital, Tehran, have stopped almost 64,000 women and warned them against breaching strict Muslim dress codes in the last month alone. The authorities have chosen the height of summer for a new crackdown to ensure that women cover their heads with veils and their bodies with long, heavy overcoats whenever they are in public. For years, Iran's police turned a blind eye when young women pushed the boundaries of the rules by wearing the flimsiest of veils or displaying painted toenails in open sandals. But President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's deeply conservative regime is steadily reversing this trend. Police in Tehran have been given orders to caution any woman they deem to be "badly veiled." Thousands are being stopped every day. Are they enforcing dress codes for men? According to Mohammed in the hadiths and other sources, men are not allowed to wear bright colors, their pants must not cover their ankles, and gold chains are verboten. A beard is mandatory. Here is a fatwa from Ask Iman.com Salaam I would like to know what is the fatwa regarding the folding of the pants during namaaz. Answer 18519 2006-08-25 The pants of a male should be above the ankles at all times. There are severe warnings mentioned in the Ahaadith regarding those men who allow their trousers to fall below their ankles. It is mentioned in one Hadith that Allah Ta’ala will not even cast a glance of mercy of the day of Qiyaamat towards that person who allows his trousers to fall below his ankles. (Muslim Hadith290). In another Hadith, it is mentioned that whatever clothing falls below the ankles, that portion will be in the fire of hell. (Bukhari Hadith5787) It is mentioned in another Hadith that Allah does not accept the Salaat of that person whose trousers is below his ankles. From the above mentioned narrations, we learn the severity of the sin of letting one’s garments reach below the ankles, one should ensure at all times that his pants is above his ankles. If the trousers is so long that it reaches below one’s ankles, it should be folded, especially at the time time of Salaat, for Allah Ta’ala does not accept the Salaat of that person whose trousers is below his ankles. and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best Mufti Ebrahim Desai jihadwatch.org
