Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In my country, I found in some translated books that they translated al-Ma'sufar by saying it is the yellow color. In my country, I found translated books that translated al-Ma'sufar as being the yellow color. Is this translation correct?
The Shaykh:
No, al-Ma'sufar is the red color; it is not yellow. Is it not the case that wearing yellow is prohibited? Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is it permissible to say takbir?
The Shaykh:
Be sure to take a saffron plant and dye a bead with it, and see what color it turns out to be. Does it turn out yellow or red? This is red. Yes.
