The general consensus regarding the wearing of silk is that you can only wear it if it isn't the dominant material.

I love wearing suits and ties.

Most ties are made of 100% silk. Are there any other alternatives to silk ties? There must be some sort of Islamic shop capitalizing on this.
 
I am sure there are. They even make "fake silk" that looks like it but isn't. Bonus to that is they cost a lot less! It might be easier to order them online unless you live in a large city!

Thanks... I live in London and haven't really found any apart from Next which I think does polyester ties.
 
Over the years I have accumulated several ties. After deciding to practice Islam, I decided to not wear any silk ties. I have only one tie that I now wear and it is made from wool. It is in the design of the Scottish tartan for my family name.

 
There are many ties available that are not made of silk. Just go to large department stores (they usually have a large selection of ties with various prices, materials and patterns) and take a look at the tag. It shouldn't be too hard to find.

How much makes it dominant? *scratch head*

The hadith says,

AbuUthman an-Nahdi narrated that while we were with Utbah ibn Farqad at Azerbaijan, there came Umar's letter indicating that Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) had forbidden the use of silk except this much; then he pointed with his index and middle fingers. To our knowledge, by that he meant embroidery.

Bukhari

I haven't heard of this dominant thing before *rubeyes*

I guess if it's made of 49% silk and 51% Polyester it's allowed.. The dominant thing I got from Islamonline.net

I have never been able to afford a silk tie in my entire life. I've had at least a thousand ties in my lifetime and not one of them was silk. I did all of my shopping at the el cheapo stores. The reason for the large number of ties is that during my working years I used to wear a new tie every day. they were cheap and disposable so it was a lot cheaper to get a new tie every day than to try to get my wife to wash and iron one. I doubt if I ever paid over 2 dollars for a tie.

I haven't worn a suit and tie in over 15 years and don't plan to ever again.

Sad, sad and very bloody sad! ain't it?

I have seen "Muslims" looking for silk substitute also seen some in search of an "halal" alternative to pork sausages.

in past when they had zillions of simultaneous khilafats going on in Spain, they were busy searching for alternatives to gold cutlery and crockery.

and were promptly dispatched by Christians to hell or where ever those end up who think they can trick Allah?

what next? alternative to prostitution? oh wait! some have already found it

may be a way to avoid paying mahr? oh no that's been found too!

pehaps a trick to prevent daughter from inheriting from father's estate? oopse! Pakistanis found out the method since before I can remember

:(

Sold by Interpal. However, as for silk and non silk ties, I am certain that there isnt a single shop that would sell silk ties only, wherever you walk into will most likely sell a mixture of both so just have a search around Insha'Allah.

Ummmm sorry to be dense but what is wrong with a substitute to silk or something else?

And btw- turkey sausage is really tasty!!!! And so are chicken and beef hot dogs!
 
we need men in our ranks who are men, not comfort seeking, effeminate little woofters!

last year I went to a Pakistani grocers shop and in his freezer I saw sausages labelled as "halal Pork style sausages" made of soya or similar.
