Wearing pure red clothing is considered by some to be impermissible (haram) in Islam for men. However, if the red is combined with another color, it is generally considered permissible.
The prohibition stems from the belief that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade wearing plain red garments. This is often interpreted as a dislike for clothing that is entirely or predominantly red.
Here's a breakdown:
- Plain Red: The dominant view is that wearing clothing that is solely red is discouraged for men.
- Red Mixed with Other Colors: If red is present alongside other colors (e.g., red and white stripes, red and black patterns), it is generally permissible to wear.
- Different Interpretations: Some scholars have varying interpretations on the intensity of the red or the context of the hadith, but the core principle remains consistent.
In short: Wearing clothes that are exclusively red is considered by many to be haram (impermissible), especially for men. However, wearing clothes that combine red with other colors is generally accepted.
