The Islamic law does not limit its followers in wearing a specific colour. Islam respects the preferences and temperaments of humans. Hence, Islamic jurists (fuqahā) state, “There is no objection in any colour of clothing” (al-Durr al-Mukhtār).
The Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم Preference: White and Black
It is known from narrations that white was liked by the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنهما narrates the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Wear white clothing and shroud your deceased in it” (Tirmidhi, Abu Dawūd).
