5312. It was narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ granted a concession to 'Abdur-Rahmân bin 'Awf and Az-Zubair bin Al-'Awwâm allowing them to wear silken shirts because of scabies that they were suffering from. (Sahîh)
5310 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْخَصَ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، وَالزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ فِي قُمُصِ حَرِيرٍ مِنْ حِكَّةٍ كَانَتْ بِهِمَا»

This incident belongs to a journey. Some jurists stipulate the condition of the state of journeying along with itchiness, because at home, several other remedies are possible for an itch, although during traveling, it might cause hardship. Since silk happens to be soft, it does not inflame the condition of itching. On the contrary, it provides relief and comfort. And if the itch- stricken body is not scratched, the itch heals up. Scratching aggravates it. In the event of wearing silk, one does not need to scratch. It gradually heals up. Some venerable individuals have taken the traveling and the itchiness to signify separate indications of permissibility. That means silk is permissible due to itchiness, as well as on account of traveling and while at war. And Allāh knows best!
