Question

What is the ruling of dressing boys in red and yellow?

Answer

It is Makrooh-e-Tahreemi for males to wear clothing that is bright yellow in colour. Similarly, it is Makrooh-e-Tanzihi for men to wear red colour clothing. The ruling that applies to adults will apply to children as well (i.e. it will not be permissible to dress male children with red and yellow clothing).
