What Garments Are Permissible for Prayer and What Garments Are Not
وَ كَتَبَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ فِي اَلْقِرْمِزِ فَإِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا يَتَوَقَّوْنَ عَنِ اَلصَّلاَةِ فِيهِ فَكَتَبَ «لاَ بَأْسَ مُطْلَقٌ وَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ.
Ibrahim ibn Mahziyar wrote to Abu Muhammad Imam Hasan ibn Ali عليه السلام, asking about praying in garments dyed with crimson (qirmaz), saying, "Our companions avoid praying in it." The Imam wrote back: "There is no problem with it at all, and all praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى."
