The ruling on dyeing white hair black

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question asking: What is the ruling on dyeing white hair black in the beard?

Answer:
It is forbidden. Dyeing white hair with pure black is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Change this gray hair and avoid black,غيروا هذا الشيب وجنبوه السواد،
And he spoke about a group of people in the end times who dye their beards:
who will use this black dye like the crops of doves who will not experience the fragrance of paradiseيخضبون لحاهم كحواصل الحمام لا يجدون رائحة الجنة
Mishkat al-Masabih 4452
. This is a severe warning. Therefore, it is not permissible to dye with black; rather, it should be dyed with a color other than black, such as yellow, red, or gray, or something similar, as long as it is not pure black. Yes.
