Question

Which colours are forbidden for males? What about the bright-coloured robes which Muslim men wear in West Africa?

Answer

All bright feminine colours such as red, yellow, pink, purple, saffron, etc. are prohibited for men. We have observed in West Africa, Muslim men wearing bright-coloured traditional garments. The colours are distinctly feminine, and this is not permissible.
