Trousers

[Bazile]

Does the Muslim religion require males to wear trousers at a certain length ?

If so , why ?

[SirOracle]

Slightly moving the goalposts on men's attire,in the army ones kilt had to be worn to a length of 2 inches above the knee. This length was rigorously checked every day on muster parade.

I will not go into other regulations concerning the kilt to satisfy the curiosity of some on AB, ;-)

I have always thought that Scotland is an unlikely place for kilts to have been invented.

I mean to say...they have awfully cold winters, and there are all those thistles to take into consideration !

[mikey4444]

I recall that old joke, about the elderly Duchess that asks a Guardsman, looking splendid in his Regimental kilt, whether anything worn under the kilt.

"No madam" he replied, "everything is in perfect working order " !

[SirOracle]

Mikey.......Kilts are a damn site warmer than trousers. Something like 9 yards of material to make a proper one.

[EcclesCake]

I would have thought kilts were abounding on Wales vs Scotland rugby matches!

[mikey4444]

Eccles...yes, you are right about the rugby, but not all of the kilts will be worn by the Scots. There is now apparently a "Welsh" tartan ! Entirely invented of course, but increasingly seen at weddings these days.

[mikey4444]

SirO...I will take your word for it.

On the only occasion that I have worn a kilt, at a New Years Eve party many years ago, I was bl***y freezing. After an hour or so, I put some thick underpants on and I was still bl***y freezing! Never again !

[SirOracle]

Maybe a sign that the Welsh are following the Scots in their desire for more independence,Mikey !! ;-)

[mikey4444]

SirO....no sign whatsoever of that yet !

[SirOracle]

Give them time and they may come to their senses Mikey.

Back to muslim trousers

obviously it has to correspond with their idea of modesty
so....
hands and feet only showing ( besides head) and dont forget NOT to point your soles of your feet at anyone
