Question

What is the Sunnah libaas for Muslims? Is there any Hadith regarding the Sunnah dressing for men?

Answer

The kurta conforms to the Sunnah libaas. It was the clothing of the pious in all eras of Islam from the time of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). It is reported in Sunan Tirmizi that from all clothing, the kurta was most beloved to Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
