Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh al-Akhlaqi, regarding the colors that are prohibited, the clothing that is prohibited, the saffron-colored, the yellowed: is the meaning that it is dyed with these plants, or any color that resembles them, including types of dye?
The Shaykh : The meaning is what is dyed with yellow, whether with safflower or saffron or otherwise.
The questioner : The emergence of synthetic colors.
The Shaykh : How is the situation, may Allah help you?
The questioner : Our Shaykh, in the lighting, there are many that resemble safflower, that resemble saffron.
The Shaykh : No, no, it is not pure; you find that it is mixed with something, yes.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, may Allah bless you, does he distinguish between the dark
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : in the yellow color.
The Shaykh : If the yellow predominates over the white, then it is it. Yes.
The questioner : Regarding yellow, there are degrees; that is, there is yellow like safflower, and yellow like lemon, and colors in between, so those are the ones intended.
The Shaykh : The result that resembles the original, but if it is light, it falls within the hadith if it has not turned into another color. So if it is mixed, like if black is mixed with yellow, it is not the pure one, yes.
