Sunan Abi Dawud 4055 (Book 34, Hadith 36) #24345
Permissibility of Silk Garments

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad forbade wearing garments made entirely of silk, but it is permissible to wear garments with a silk border or wrap.

Ibn 'Abbas said: It is only a garment wholly made of silk which the Messenger of Allah forbade, but there is no harm in the ornamented border and the wrap.
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُفَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خُصَيْفٌ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ إِنَّمَا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنِ الثَّوْبِ الْمُصْمَتِ مِنَ الْحَرِيرِ فَأَمَّا الْعَلَمُ مِنَ الْحَرِيرِ وَسَدَى الثَّوْبِ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad taught that it is forbidden to wear clothing made entirely out of silk. However, he did not forbid wearing clothing with a silk border or wrap. This hadith teaches us that although certain things may be prohibited in Islam, there are exceptions and allowances for certain circumstances. For example, if one were to wear a garment with a small amount of silk on the edges or as an accessory piece then this would be permissible according to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. This hadith also teaches us about moderation and balance in our lives; we should not go overboard in any aspect and should strive for moderation instead.
