Is it permissible for a woman to wear striking colors such as maroon, orange, and sky blue outside the home in front of non-mahram men, and what is the legitimate criterion for determining if a color is not customary in the country, and is it true that light colors are forbidden except for niqab-wearing women?
When a woman goes out, it is obligatory for her to wear clothing that covers her body, provided it meets the Islamic legal conditions. Islamic law does not mandate a specific color or type of clothing, so she is permitted to wear colors other than black, as long as they are not considered an adornment in the common understanding of people.
