Dyeing the white beard or leaving it as is

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:
It is better to change it; that is the best. However, if he leaves it white, there is no harm. Among the Companions, some would dye it and some would not, so there is no harm in leaving it white. We knew scholars who did not dye it: Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) did not dye it, Shaykh Ibn Sa'di did not dye it, and Shaykh 'Abd al-Latif ibn Ibrahim did not dye it. They did what is permissible; they did what is permissible, and left what is better. Yes.
