Men wearing yellow clothing

1 week ago By user2

Q: I have a question regarding the ruling on yellow clothing for men. 

Some hadith mention the Prophet ﷺ forbidding garments dyed with yellow saffron (muʿaṣfar), while other discussions mention yellow clothing in general. Could you please clarify: 

1. Is the prohibition specific to garments dyed with yellow dyes such as saffron or wars? 

2. Or does it apply to any garment that is completely yellow, regardless of how the color was produced? 

3. According to the Hanafi madhhab, what is the ruling for Muslim men: haram, makruh tahrimi, makruh tanzihi, or permissible? 

4. Does the ruling differ between plain yellow clothing and clothing that is only partly yellow? 

Wearing different types of topis

Q: Zaid says that in today's time the topi has become a big fitnah. The reason he says this is because one day at the masjid one uncle gave him a topi and told him to wear this topi because its for the Shaikh. Then Zaid says everyone is wearing their own topi and following the Shaikh and they only worry about the Shaikh. 

Zaid says if one group of people are wearing a certain topi and another group of people are wearing a different type of topi then they don't even make salaam with each other. Hence Zaid concludes by saying that he knows for sure that Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam at times didn't wear a topi. So from that time in the masjid when the uncle gave Zaid the topi, Zaid says he will not wear a topi till he finds the topi that Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam used to wear. 

Zaid also says that he doesn't wear it so people won't know which of the 72 sects he is from. How do we explain to Zaid that he is confused and confusing others?
