3601. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ forbade Al-Mufaddam." (Hasan) (One of the narrators) Yazid said: "I said to Hasan: 'What is Al-Mufaddam?' He said: '(Clothes) that are dyed with safflower (i.e., a red dyestuff prepared from its flower heads)."
3601 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْمُفْدَمِ» قَالَ يَزِيدُ: قُلْتُ لِلْحَسَنِ: مَا الْمُفْدَمُ قَالَ: «الْمُشْبَعُ بِالْعُصْفُرِ»

Mu'asfar means that which is dyed by Usfur. It was a yellow material used for dyeing clothes. (Muhammad Fuwâd Abdul-Bâqî, with the reference of Munjid). But he explained Mufaddam as 'dark red whose redness can not be increased more.' It is possible that though the plant of Kasam (safflower) is yellow, but the cloth dyed with it becomes red. Using dark color indicates that if the garment dyed by Kasam is of dim color then it is allowed for men.
