If it is worn by the Khateebs at the time of delivering the Khutbah,that is a bad sign, because it is indicative of losing their positions. Bythe same token, if they wear black at the time of delivering the Khutbah,that is a good sign.
But wearing black for people who are not used to itis a sign of worry or grief.To sum up: if a person wears garments that are befitting for him, that is good for him; if he wears garments that are not befitting for him, that is indicative of a bad reputation and loss of his position.
