Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Dyeing the hair red, like with henna, or the like?
The Shaykh : Dyeing the hair with anything other than black is permissible, and for this reason we say:
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Instead of dyeing it black, one should dye it with a color that makes the hair between black and red, making it dark brown, neither pure black nor pure red. By doing this, the prohibition is removed and the benefit is achieved.
