Sunnah Kurta

Question

Does the Sunnah Kurta have slits or not? I have heard that all unanimously agree that the length of the Kurta should be until half the shin.

Answer

We haven’t found any clearcut narration which provides a clear description of the Kurta of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam in terms of whether it was slit on the sides, or not. Hence, it cannot be said with certainty that the Sunnah Kurta has slits on the sides. However, the Ulama have written that the Kurta worn by the righteous and pious will be permissible to wear.
