Ruling on Wearing Colored and Saffron-Dyed Clothing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! A prohibition was reported regarding wearing colored clothes. What is a saffron-dyed garment?
Yes, a prohibition was reported regarding wearing a pure red garment, but not one that contains another color. Accordingly, there is nothing wrong with wearing a shemagh, why? Because it is not pure red; it contains white. Likewise, if we suppose that a person is wearing a red garment, but it has white or black lines, or lines of a color different from red, there is nothing wrong with that. As for the saffron-dyed garment, it is the one dyed with saffron. Do you know saffron? Saffron is a well-known plant that has fruit and flowers resembling saffron. Do you know saffron? It resembles it. So, if a garment is dyed with it, it becomes a yellow leaning toward red. Wearing this is prohibited.
