"If your cooperation with your father involves repaying the money he borrowed—the principal amount from the bank—there is no issue with that; because it is originally a debt.

وفيه دليل على جواز لباس الأحمر، وقد أخطا من كره لباسه مطلقًا، غير أنه قد يختص بلباسه في بعض الأوقات أهل الفسق والدعارة والمجون، فحينئذ يُكره لباسه؛ لأنَّه إذ ذاك تَشبُّه بهم، وقد قال صلى الله عليه وسلم: ((من تشبَّه بقومٍ فهو منهم))، لكن ليس هذا…
It is disliked for men to remain bareheaded outdoors
Sheikh Rashād Adh-Dhali'ee hafidahullah said:
