Summary
In general it is permissible to wear clothing of any colour, including brick orange, except clothing dyed with saffron or safflower (usfur). The hadith prohibition on red clothing is understood as a disliked act of tanzih rather than forbidden, and depends on reasons such as resembling non-Muslims or women. Today this colour is not specific to women or to any religion, so wearing it is permissible.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berkenaan dengan dua hadis di atas, pendapat yang muktamad di sisi mazhab Syafi'i, memakai apa sahaja warna baju sama ada merah, kuning, hijau atau lainnya adalah harus melainkan pakaian yang dicelup dengan pewarna safron (zakfaran).
