Praise
be to Allah:
There
are difference opinion among the Scholars regarding many said it Harram some
said dislike. We will present you most agreeable and strong opinion based on
the authentic narrations and Scholars viewpoints.
Al-Mubaarakfoori
said:
The
apparent meaning of his words, “The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) forbade men to use saffron” is that it is prohibited
for them to use saffron in all cases, whether in small or great
amounts, on the body or (as a dye) for clothing.
End
quote from Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi (8/82).
With
reference to saffron, however, we also have what is narrated by Ibn `Umar
that used to dye his clothes with saffron and use it as an ointment.
When asked why, he replied by saying: “I saw it to be the most preferred dye of
the Prophet (peace be upon him) and he used to use it as an ointment and as a
dye for his clothes.” [Sunan Abû Dâwûd (1772)]
According
to the Muhadith Shaik Zubair ali zei. It actually yellow not saffron.
"And
as for (dyeing) with yellow, I saw the Messenger of Allah dye with it, so I too
love to dye with it. And as for announcing the Ihram, I did not see the
Messenger of Allah enter into the state of Ihrãm until his mount started traveling
with him." (Sahih)
"With
something that gives a yellowish appearance and they differ over whether it
refers to the hair or the clothes."
Scholar
like Ibn Hajar Asqalani in his book "Bulugh Al-Maram Min Adillat
Al-Ahkam" in Page 193. [English version]
Book
Reference Hadith number ;554.
'All
(RAA) narrated, ‘The Messenger of Allah prohibited (men from) wearing Qassei (a kind of fabric made of silk or striped with silk, which is brought from Egypt and Syria) or any clothing dyed with saffron.’ Related by Muslim.
Book
Reference Hadith number; 555. 'Abdullah bin 'Amro (RAA) narrated, ‘‘The
Messenger of Allah M saw me wearing two garments dyed with saffron. Thereupon he said to me “Has your mother ordered you to do so?” Related by Muslim.
Interpretation
:
177-
This comment from the Prophet ^ indicates that dying clothes
withsaffron is absolutely prohibited for men, and he mentioned the mother
because it is usual for women to use it to decorate their clothing. This is
also supported by the rest of the narration in Muslim, in which the
Prophet(pbuh) commanded him to burn the two garments when 'Amro asked him if he
should wash them.
conclusion
:
Most
of the Scholars agreed that Saffron is Harram to wear small or big
amount. Some said wearing mix Saffron is dislike they take the note
of Abu Dawood Hadith. I agree with the scholars said Saffron is
prohibited for Men in all case as its the has strong evidence.
Note:
Wearing yellow color is allowed but saffron color is prohibited for Men.

knows the best:
