Ruling on Wearing the Yellow-Garbed Garment of Mourning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: O Shaykh, what is the meaning of the word "al-ma'safar" (yellow-garbed) in the hadith prohibiting men from wearing the yellow-garbed garment? Does it include all red clothing for men, whether they are adults or children?
Answer:
This is what a woman is prohibited from doing during the period of mourning (i'dad); she does not wear a yellow-garbed garment. "Al-ma'safar" refers to a garment dyed with a dye that makes it beautiful, so that it becomes beautiful. Therefore, she does not wear a garment dyed with a dye that beautifies it. However, if the garment is not beautiful, there is no harm in this for the woman in mourning; she wears garments that are not beautiful. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
