The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it considered a violation of manliness, or an imitation of women, for a man to wear a black garment?
The Shaykh:
No, women do not wear men's clothing. There is black, or green, or yellow that women do not wear. Men have their own specific clothing, and women have their own specific clothing. So, no. Black is not specific to women; there is black specific to men and black specific to women. So, neither one wears the other's clothing. Yes.

Honorable Shaykh, please proceed.
