Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on dyeing hair for women, if it is for adornment and the woman is married?
Answer:
Healthy black hair is not permissible to change to another color, because this is changing Allah’s creation without need. It remains in its original state and its natural beauty, which is blackness. However, if the hair is disfigured or has gray hair, hair with gray in it, it is changed, but not to black. Black is never permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: meaning, change it to a color other than black. Yes.
