Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. Is there a prohibition against wearing colored garments, and what is the yellow-dyed garment?
The Shaykh : Yes, there is a prohibition against wearing a pure red garment. As for one that contains another color, there is no prohibition. Accordingly, there is nothing wrong with wearing a shemagh, because it is not pure red; it contains white. Likewise, if a person wears a red garment that has white, black, or lines of a color different from red, there is nothing wrong with that.
As for the yellow-dyed garment, it is the one dyed with safflower. Do you know safflower? I am not a farmer. It appears that safflower is a well-known plant that has fruit and flowers resembling saffron. Do you know saffron? It resembles it. If a garment is dyed with it, it becomes a yellow leaning toward red. It is prohibited to wear it. Yes, it is prohibited.
