Is it better to leave the beard white or to dye it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Which is better: leaving the beard as it is if it is white, or is it better for a person to dye it and change it?

Answer:
The better option is to change it; that is the best. If he leaves it white, there is no harm. Among the Companions, some dyed it and some did not. There is no harm in leaving it white. We have seen scholars who did not dye it. Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) did not dye it, and Shaykh Ibn Sa'di did not dye it, and Shaykh Ibn Latif ibn Ibrahim did not dye it. They did what is permissible; they did what is permissible and left what is better. Yes.
