Question

Can men wear T-shirts or socks in red in colour?

What if it’s mixed with red, but the red colour is more?

Answer

It is disliked for men to wear such a garment where the entire garment itself is red. However if it is mixed with any other colour and the other colour is noticeable when looking at the garment, then it will be permissible.
