Awrah shorts are shorts that fall past the knee, so the area from the navel to the knee stays covered, also when you sit, squat or jump. Ours have a three-quarter length, are made of light and breathable fabric and come in sizes S to 3XL. Wear them to the gym, on the pitch or on a warm day at home. Ordered before 19:00 on a working day = shipped the same day. Returns within 14 days, free if you choose store credit.
What are awrah shorts?
For Muslim men, the area from the navel to the knee should stay covered. Most shorts in normal shops stop above the knee, and they ride up even more when you sit down. Awrah shorts are cut longer: the leg ends past the knee, so there is fabric to spare when you move.
Awrah gym shorts
- Light and breathable: a light fabric that wicks moisture, for the gym, running and football.
- Room to move: a relaxed fit, so you can squat, lunge and sprint without the shorts pulling up.
- Leggings underneath: want support? Wear sports leggings under the shorts. The shorts stay on top, so the shape of your legs does not show.
Everything for training is in our Islamic sportswear collection.

Not only for sport
With an oversized T-shirt and sneakers or sandals, awrah shorts look like normal shorts. So you can wear them at home, on holiday or at a family barbecue, and still stay covered.
The sit test
Not sure if a pair of shorts is long enough? Stand in front of a mirror, sit down on a chair, then squat. If your knee stays covered both times, the length is right. Many shorts that look long when you stand fail this test.
Not for swimming
Sports shorts are not made for the pool: they get heavy and stay wet. For swimming, take swim shorts that fall past the knee. See our halal swim shorts.
Which size?
Take your usual size, because the shorts fall roomy. Sizes run from S to 3XL. Between two sizes? Send your height and weight by WhatsApp or e-mail and we will advise you.

Vragen en antwoorden
What fabric are the shorts made of?
A light polyester blend that wicks moisture. Polyester takes up very little sweat, so the shorts stay light during a workout. Cotton shorts do the opposite: they soak up sweat, get heavy and stick to your legs. For sport, polyester is the easier choice.
What should I wear on top?
A T-shirt that falls over the waistband. When you bend over, squat or pick up weights, a short top rides up and shows your lower back. A longer or oversized T-shirt stays in place, so you stay covered from top to bottom while you train.
Are awrah shorts the same as halal shorts?
Yes. Awrah shorts, halal shorts and Islamic shorts are different names for the same thing: shorts for men that cover the navel to past the knee and fall roomy. In Dutch people also say halal korte broek. Whatever you search for, you mean the same shorts.
Why should the shorts go past the knee?
For a Muslim man the awrah runs from the navel to the knee. About the knee itself, scholars differ in opinion; with shorts that go past the knee, you are covered under every view. If you are unsure about a rule, ask a scholar you trust.
How long does delivery take?
Within the Netherlands, most parcels arrive one to two working days after they are shipped, inshaAllah. We also ship to Belgium. If you need the shorts for a fixed day, such as the start of a new training plan, order a few days early.
