‘Umar said the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade wearing silk except to this extent, which was indicated by Allah's Messenger ﷺ raising his middle and forefinger and joining them. (Bukhari and Muslim.) A version by Muslim tells that in an address given by him at al-Jabiya (a town to the east of the Sea of Galilee, north of the Yarmuk battlefield. ‘Umar went there before the fall of Jerusalem.) he said Allah's Messenger ﷺ forbade wearing silk except to the extent of two, three, or four fingers.
