The questioner : May Allah forgive you. Does wearing the white ghutrah fall under this?
The Shaykh : Raise your voice.
The questioner : I say: Does wearing the white ghutrah, the white socks, and the white leather socks fall under the saying:?
The Shaykh : As for the leather socks, no, because this follows the customs of people. As for the other clothing, yes, this is better. However, if it happens that he wants to wear another garment, such as colored winter clothes, we say: there is nothing wrong with it. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wore colored clothes and wore the black turban, and there is no harm. Yes, the apparent meaning of the hadith is that white is recommended and better than other colors.
