Question:
This brother, M., sent a set of questions asking about the clothing of fame (shuhrah) which is prohibited. He asks: What are its characteristics? And are there colors that are forbidden or disliked for men to wear?
Answer:
The clothing of fame is the clothing that goes against the custom of the people of the country. So if the people of the country are wearing permissible clothing that does not contradict the Shari'ah, and he goes against them and wears clothing other than the clothing of the men of the country, then this is the clothing of fame. As for colors, a man may wear the colors worn by the people of his country, such as white, black, or green, except for pure red, for which a prohibition has come, so he should not wear pure red. Yes.
