The questioner : Is wearing white clothes mentioned in the Sunnah?
The Shaykh : All colors in clothing are permissible, except for pure red, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it. However, white clothing is better than other colors. There is no harm in a person choosing to wear something colored in another color. It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to wear the red thobe, meaning the one that was dyed red, and its flags, i.e., the lines in it, were red.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
