The questioner : Yes, if the clothing is adornment, we say do not wear clothing that is adornment. It is not determined by color, meaning. No, no, it is not determined without. No.

The Shaykh : No, no, no.

The questioner : No, no, it is not determined by the color.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Yes, and it returns to custom; perhaps what is adornment for some people is not adornment for others.
