Question 1948: Has it been prohibited to clothe a newborn in used clothes? Is there a recommended color for a newborn's clothing?
✅ Answer: Refer to the following narrations:
1⃣عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا حَمَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِالْحَسَنِ فَوَلَدَتْ وَ کَانَ النَّبِیُّ أَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ یَلُفُّوهُ فِی خِرْقَةٍ بَیْضَاءَ فَلَفُّوهُ فِی صَفْرَاءَ وَ قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ یَا عَلِیُّ سَمِّهِ فَقَالَ مَا کُنْتُ لِأَسْبِقَ بِاسْمِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ جَاءَ النَّبِیُّ فَأَخَذَهُ وَ قَبَّلَهُ وَ أَدْخَلَ لِسَانَهُ فِی فِیهِ فَجَعَلَ الْحَسَنُ یَمَصُّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَ لَمْ أَتَقَدَّمْ إِلَیْکُمْ أَنْ تَلُفُّوهُ فِی خِرْقَةٍ بَیْضَاءَ فَدَعَا بِخِرْقَةٍ بَیْضَاءَ فَلَفَّهُ فِیهَا وَ رَمَی بِالصَّفْرَاءِ وَ أَذَّنَ فِی أُذُنِهِ الْیُمْنَی وَ أَقَامَ فِی الْیُسْرَی...
📚 *Ilal al-Sharai*, p. 138
Jabir said: When Fatima (peace be upon her) was pregnant with Hasan (peace be upon him) and gave birth, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) instructed them to wrap him in a white cloth. However, they wrapped him in a yellow cloth. Fatima Zahra (peace be upon her) told Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him): Name him! Imam Ali (peace be upon him) replied: I will not precede the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in naming him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) arrived, held him, kissed him, and placed his tongue in his mouth, and Imam Hasan (peace be upon him) began to suck on it. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to them: Did I not tell you to wrap him in a white cloth? So, they brought a white cloth, wrapped him in it, and set aside the yellow cloth. The Prophet then recited the *adhan* in his right ear and the *iqama* in his left ear.
2⃣عَنِ الرِّضَا عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ عُمَیْسٍ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ قَالَتْ إِنَّهَا قَالَتْ لَمَّا حَمَلْتُ بِالْحَسَنِ وَ وَلَدْتُهُ جَاءَ النَّبِیُّ فَقَالَ یَا أَسْمَاءُ هَلُمِّی ابْنِی فَدَفَعْتُهُ إِلَیْهِ فِی خِرْقَةٍ صَفْرَاءَ فَرَمَی بِهَا النَّبِیُّ وَ أَذَّنَ فِی أُذُنِهِ الْیُمْنَی وَ أَقَامَ فِی أُذُنِهِ الْیُسْرَی إِلَی أَنْ قَالَ فَسَمَّاهُ الْحَسَنَ
📚 *Uyun Akhbar al-Ridha*, Vol. 2, p. 25
Fatima Zahra (peace be upon her) said: When I was pregnant with Hasan (peace be upon him) and gave birth, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) came and said: O Asma! Bring me my son! So Asma handed him over in a yellow cloth. The Prophet (peace be upon him) removed the yellow cloth, recited the *adhan* in his right ear, the *iqama* in his left ear... and then named him Hasan.
✅ According to authentic Shia narrations, there is no prohibition against clothing a newborn in used clothes. However, the above narrations specifically mention avoiding wrapping a newborn in a yellow cloth and instead wrapping them in a white cloth.
There is no specific recommendation for a newborn's clothing color in the narrations, but it is advisable to follow general guidelines from other traditions, such as avoiding black and preferring white.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر
