Combining the prohibition against wearing red with the wearing of red by al-Hasan and al-Husayn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: How do you reconcile the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) against wearing red with the hadith stating that his sons, 'Ali and Abu Talib (may Allah be pleased with them both), wore red?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wore red, a red garment, but they said the intended meaning is the prohibition of pure red. As for red mixed with another color, there is no harm, such as the shemagh. The shemagh is red, my brother, but it is mixed with another color. So if the redness is not pure, there is no harm in that. The prohibition now is against pure red for men. Yes.
