The ruling on a woman wearing a white dress on her wedding day

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister Fa-Nun says in her other question: What is the ruling on a woman wearing a white dress? What is the ruling on wearing a white wedding dress? Is it true that it involves imitating the Christians?

Answer:
A woman wears what is customary for women to wear in her society, and whatever is women's clothing of any color. A man wears what is customary for men to wear in his society, and whatever is men's clothing of any color, except for pure red. It is not permissible for a man to wear a pure red garment in its redness. If a man wears women's clothing, he is imitating women, and vice versa: if a woman wears men's clothing exclusively for them, she is imitating men. Both are cursed: the one who imitates women and the one who imitates men. It is obligatory to be cautious of such matters. Yes.
