Are there any particular colours and styles of headgear which are not permissible?

Question

Are there any particular colours and styles of headgear which are not permissible? If the headgear is the dress of a deviant Muslim sect, will it be permissible for us to wear it?

Answer

Red, pink, yellow and all feminine colours are not permissible for males. Also, if the headgear resembles the shape, style or exclusive colour of the kuffaar, fussaaq or a deviant sect, then it will not be permissible to wear such headgear, e.g. a Jinnah cap. In the present age it is also not permissible to wear a green turban because this is the exclusive turban colour of the extreme bid'ati Barelwi Qabar Pujaari sect.
