Men should not wear shorts, because by doing so he showed his body (intimate parts). And should not be revealing ' Awrah in front of other men, as well as in the presence of women other than his wife or his female slaves
The Command Procedures Closes the Male awrah
Allah Ta'ala says:
والذين هم لفروجهم حافظون. إلا على أزواجهم أو ما ملكت أيمانهم فإنهم غير ملومين
" And they who guard their private parts Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they will not be blamed - "
Mu'awiyah ibn Haidah Al Qusyairi radhiallahu'anhu , a companion of the Prophet, asked the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu'alaihi Wasallam :
يا رسول الله عوراتنا ما نأتي منها وما نذر قال احفظ عورتك إلا من زوجتك أو ما ملكت يمينك قلت يا رسول الله أرأيت إن كان القوم بعضهم في بعض قال فإن استطعت أن لا تريها أحدا فلا ترينها قلت يا رسول الله فإن كان أحدنا خاليا قال فالله أحق أن يستحيا منه من الناس
" O Messenger of Allah, concerning our aurat, to whom may we appear and to whom should not be revealed?
The Messenger of Allah replied:
"close your nakedness except to your wife or slave woman."
Mu'awiyah said:
O Messenger of Allah, what if someone is in the middle of the people who see each other?
The Messenger of Allah replied:
"If you can afford to keep your nakedness (Awrah) from being seen, then it should be done. You see no other people's nakedness, and others do not see your nakedness. "
Mu'awiyah said:
O Messenger of Allah, what if someone is alone?
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) replied:
"Allah has a right to be ashamed of Him rather than to men"
(Tirmidhi 2794, acclaimed Al Albani in Sahih At-Tirmidhi ).
And in the hadith from Abu Sa'id Al Khudri radhiallahu'anhu , the Messenger of Allaah shallallahu'alaihi Wasallam said:
لا ينظر الرجل إلى عورة الرجل, ولا المرأة إلى عورة المرأة
" A man can not see another man's nakedness (Awrah), and a woman can not see another woman's nakedness "
(Muslim 348).
Male Aurat Restrictions
And the limits of the man's aurat are from the navel to the knee. Based on the hadith:
أسفل السرة وفوق الركبتين من العورة
" Under the navel and above the knees is the aurat "
(HR Al Baihaqi, 3362, Ad Daruquthni 1/231, and others).
And hadits like this a lot, but everything is not out of weakness. However, the content is practiced by the scholars. Even Al Albani says:
وهي وإن كانت أسانيدها كلها لا تخلو من ضعف .... فإن بعضها المروي بها
"The hadiths concerning the limits of this aurat though all can not be separated from weakness, but some strengthen some others. Because in it there is no narrator who muttaham (the accused liar). Even the flaws are only about idhthirab, jahalah and weakness that muhtamal. So these hadiths such as the hadith are reassuring to say the authentic hadith "
( Irwaul Ghalil , 1/297).
Among his supporting arguments is the hadith from Abu Darda radhiallahu'anhu , he said:
كنت جالسا عند النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إذ أقبل أبو بكر آخذا بطرف ثوبه حتى أبدى عن ركبته فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: أما صاحبكم فقد غامر
" I once sat next to the Prophet sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam. Suddenly Abu Bakr came to the Prophet sallallahu'alaihi Wasallam while carrying the tip of his clothes until his knees appeared. The Prophet sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam said: 'Surely your friend is being upset' .... "
(Narrated by Bukhari no 3661).
Also from Abu Musa Al Asy'ari radhiallahu'anhu he said:
أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان قاعدا في مكان فيه ماء قد انكشف عن ركبته أو ركبتيه فلما دخل عثمان غطاها
"The Prophet sallallaahu'alaihi Wasallam once sat in a place where water is open knees or both knees. When Uthman came, he closed his knee "
(Narrated by Al Bukhari no 3695).
This is the opinion of the jumhur ulama. Indeed some scholars argue thighs not including aurat, but this is a weak opinion, if you see the arguments above.
Shaykh Abdul Aziz bin Baz said:
فإن عورة الرجل ما بين السرة والركبة في الصلاة وخارجها لكن يزاد على ذلك في الصلاة أن يستر عاتقيه أو أحدهما برداء ونحوه مع القدرة على ذلك, ولا يجوز للمؤمن في الصلاة أن يبدي شيئا مما بين السرة والركبة, هذا هو الذي عليه جمهور أهل العلم وهو الصواب , وذهب بعض أهل العلم إلى أن الفخذ ليس بعورة ولكنه قول مرجوح
"Aurat of man is between the navel and knee, both in prayer and outside prayer. But in prayer coupled with closing both shoulders or one of them with rida or semisalnya as long as still able. And it should not be for a believer when it shows a part between his navel to his knee. This is the opinion of the jumhur ulama and this is the correct opinion. Some scholars argue that the thigh is not an aurat, but this is a weak opinion "
So the conclusion, it is not allowed men wear shorts in front of other men, or in the presence of women other than his wife or slave woman.
Wallahu a’lam.
