1561. It was narrated from Sâlim that his father said: "Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭâb, may Allāh be pleased with him, found a Hullah[1] of Istîbraq[2] in the market. He took it and brought it to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, why don't you buy this and adorn yourself with it for the two 'Eids and when (meeting) the
delegations?' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'This is the clothing of one who has no share in the Hereafter,' or: 'This is worn by one who has no share in the Hereafter.' Then as much time passed as Allāh willed, then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ sent to 'Umar a garment made of Dībāj.[1] He brought it to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, you said that this is the clothing of one who has no share in the Hereafter, then you sent this to me?' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Sell it and use the money for whatever you need.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
Clothing which one individual may not wear could be given as a gift, because if he could not wear it himself, he could give it to someone else, or sell it. Trading of such things is also allowed, for instance silk, etc. However, the thing which is absolutely forbidden cannot be given as a gift to anyone, nor may one trade in it, for e.g., wine, pork, etc.
