Is black clothing for women considered the religiously prescribed attire, or is any type acceptable?

The Shaykh : Here is a question asking whether black clothing for women is considered the religiously prescribed attire, or is it any color?
The answer is that black clothing is not what is prescribed by the Shari'ah; rather, it falls within the scope of permissibility. A woman may wear whatever colors she wishes in her clothing, provided that she does not attract the attention of men. In that case, the clothing is not prohibited on account of its color, but rather because it becomes a garment of fame. There is a sound hadith that includes women as well as men: In short, a woman may wear any color, provided that the color is not a color of fame. And with that, the questions are concluded.
