27. Keep your clothing in a neat and tidy manner by folding it or hanging it in a cupboard. Do not keep your clothing lying around in an untidy condition. Place dirty clothing in the place that is designated for such clothing e.g. in the laundry basket, etc.

Hazrat Sa’eed bin Musayyib (rahimahullah) is reported to have said, “Certainly Allah Ta‘ala is pure and He loves purity. Allah Ta‘ala is clean and loves cleanliness. Allah Ta‘ala is kind and loves kindness. Allah Ta‘ala is generous and loves generosity. Hence, keep the courtyards of your homes clean and do not resemble the Jews (in their untidiness).” ^[1]
