Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

We apologize for the belated response.

1. It is permissible to wear Saudi scarves that are red and white in colour. Wearing such scarves will not be Makr?h. The Fuqah? have allowed the wearing of such scarves as they are striped and not completely red in colour.

Furthermore, these scarves are worn on the head. The Fuqah? have allowed the wearing of red on the head, though it is completely red.

2. The method explained in the query has no Shar?i proof. However, it cannot be considered Bid?ah, as Saudi?s do not consider this method as a Sunna or part of Shari?ah. It is a method they have adopted to express their love and happiness when meeting. If they consider this method as a Sunna or part of Shari?ah, it will be an innovation.
