Maybe they wear black to look thinner lol - just joking :)
I was told that they wear black in order to absorb the heat and that makes them sweat - wich makes them cool ?! I think that how it works..because its really really hot where they live
asalaamualaikym sista . i would like to inform you that you are misleading the people and advising them without hikma ! it is not fard to wear black ! we agree. however its obvious that black is the most modest color to wear ..if you are honest with yourself you would agree! black is so modest that even the non muslims choose to wear black at their funerals correct ??? so if you were going to die tonight would you feel safe wearing pink even though the scholars have warned against it ???
Wa alaykom e salaam ramatullah wa barakato: I am not aDVISING THEM WITHOUT HIKMA. Don't make up stuff. Aisha R.A didn't wear black. But I do. I like it. I mainly wear black. And it being modest as a colour isn't true of some situations---anyways, your argument is weak.
Honestly, yes, if I died tonight, I would feel 100% safe meeting Allah subhahu wa ta'ala wearing pink. It is halal to do so.
cdwillingboro: The reason scholars warned about certain colours was to attract attention to social status (because dyes used to cost serrious $). Not because a colour is sexual. Scholars have NOT warned against pink, lol. They have warned against showing off for social status. In Saudi, I wear black. At the middle of high tea in my city, I wear pink and florals. It is modest in the situation.
what schaolars are you speaking of lol! (names please)and correct me if im wrong but don't the scholars warn the sistas not to wear clothing out of vanity ?this also mean wearing colors that you think make your appearance more attractive ! and are you still trying to justify pink ??? amazing what people will do now a days .remember you are in a race with others to make it to jinah ! and you are so sure about aisha not wearing black ? supanaallah
I recognised what he disliked. I then came to my family who were burning their oven. I threw it (the garment) in it and came to him the next day. He asked: Abdullah, what have you done with the garment? I informed him about it. He said: Why did you not give it to one of your family to wear, for there is no harm in it for women.
No harm in it for women. From the lips of the Prophet sallalahu alahi wa salaam. That is why:
Aisha [May Allah be pleased with her], from Al-Qaasim and he is Muhammad ibn Abee Bakr As-Siddeeq: " Aaishah used to wear clothing dyed with safflower while she was in a state of Ihraam." Ibn Abee Mulaikah reported: "I saw upon Umm Salamah a garment and a covering coloured with safflower [i.e. yellow/red]."
So that point is also mute. It is half the info on the matter. It was NEVER forbidden for women. It was forbidden for men to resemble the kufar while showing off their social status. WOmen had to be weary of this also, but wearing the dye itself, or gold, or silk, was not haraam for them, or necessarily showing off in the same way the Prophet sallalahi alahi wa salaam regarded it for the women.
This makes your point about women not wearing colours (such as orange and yellow and yes, even a shad eof red, mute).
There isn't a hadith about Aisha R.A wearing black, but that does not mean she did not also wear black, but she is mentioned wearing bright colours and thus this was halal. The scholars I am speaking of are those who have spoken on what may be apparent of a woman in public:
Of what may be apparent (Al-Azhab ayah 59 tells the believing women not to show their Zeenah--- adornments--- except for what naturally may be shown.), I follow the opinions of Ibn Mas'oud who has said said that it is the outside clothes (no matter the colour). Imams Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Ibn Seereen, and Ibrahim An-Nakha'i adopted the same opinion as Ibn Mas'oud.
Ibn Abbas and Qatadah said it is the eye outline, the coloring of the hands and the ring (I also agree with them---who I am I to disagree with the companions). No one ever said that colour was ornament, the exception of it being worn for social status. As stated 100xs, even by the Prophet forbidding men to wear saff dye, it was because dyes were expensive. Pink is not expensive and isn't showing off for me. SubhanAllah, you trying to make haraam what neither the Messenger of Allah nor Allah did!
It isn't unattractive to men--many men find the colour to be sexy, thus, the little black dress, so that really isn't the reason. The reason we do so is it is a cultural norm that came from wearing dark colours so that the thin cloth would not be see-through.
little black dress litte as in little coverage barely there not like our dress black and all covered no leg breast butt showing not the same there attracted to the skin and the good she is showing the only thing black can do is make a person look skinny.
I can wear anything modest and loose and it can be even a bright colour and it acheives the same. Black doesn't stop men from looking at a woman, in fact in some cases, a black niqab can emphasise her eyes, ect, ect. Don't get me wrong, I love black just not uneducated persons in the ummah that like to name certain colours haraam when the Prophet sallalahu alahi wa salaam and his companions never did.
روى أبو داود (4101) عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ : لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلابِيبِهِنَّ خَرَجَ نِسَاءُ الأَنْصَارِ كَأَنَّ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِنَّ الْغِرْبَانَ مِنْ الأَكْسِيَةِ . صححه الألباني في صحيح أبي داود .
This hadith actually isn't talking about dark clothing, it is talking about how the early Ansari and immigrant women (may Allah be pleaded with them) went to Isha prayers as the masjid and no one recognized them because of the darkness---it is also speaking of the shape of their jilbab (not its colour).

HollyROX: When its 50 degrees out white or black, you're hot anyway, so it doesn't matter:P
In humidity though, lighter colours DO made a difference. Dry heat though? Anything works the same.

Hadith - Sunan of Abu Dawood #4055, Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As
Pixieilovehishma 2 years ago
We came down with the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) from a turning of a valley.
Pixieilovehishma 2 years ago
He turned his attention to me and I was wearing a garment dyed with a reddish yellow dye. He asked: What is this garment over you?
Pixieilovehishma 2 years ago
I recognised what he disliked. I then came to my family who were burning their oven. I threw it (the garment) in it and came to him the next day.
