Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the explanation for the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibition of 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr when he saw a saffron-dyed tunic on him? He said to him: Who ordered you to do this? Your mother? He said: What can I do with it, O Messenger of Allah? He said: Burn it.
Answer:
It appears that it was pure, because what is dyed with pure saffron becomes red, a deep red. It appears that it was a deep red from the saffron dye, or that this was imitating the disbelievers, and that it was from the clothing of the disbelievers, or that the prohibition was for the sake of disapproval. It is possible that there are various possibilities.
