SAFFRON COLOR CLOTH FOR MEN IS HARRAM OR DISLIKED?

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.

 

Allah knows the best:
