The ruling on wearing a yellow or bright red shirt or trousers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on a man wearing a bright yellow or bright red shirt or trousers that is not mixed with any other color? Does this fall under the category of yellowed or saffron-dyed clothing?
Answer:
As for pure red, it is not permissible for a man. As for red that is not pure, meaning it is mixed with a color other than red, such as a mix of white and red like the shemagh or some clothing, there is nothing wrong with it because it is not pure red. However, pure red is not suitable; it is forbidden for men and is only for women. As for yellow, if it is not the kind about which prohibition was mentioned, namely the yellowed or saffron-dyed type, there is nothing wrong with it. Yellow, green, black, and white are all fine. The best clothing for men is white, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. But there is nothing wrong with the other colors, except for pure red. Yes.
