As for point 8, I had red a lot in the past about the colours which the Messenger blessing and peace be upon him wore and not wore.
He commanded men not to wear red because this is similarisation to women, however, he wore a Yemni cloak with red strips, not fully red. He also allowed wearing of black for both women and men but not for observing death related purposes. There is one hadeeth in which he recommends wearing white and using it for shrouding the dead.
In the hadeeth narrated by Aesha, when she said she made him a black cloak, he took it off when he smelled himself sweating. Probably because the whether in Saudi Arabia is hot, it was perferable to wear light colours in avoidance to the heat and sweating. Allahu A`lam.
