The Ruling on Dyeing with Black
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on those who dye their beards black, and what is the dye that is permissible?
Answer:
Their ruling is that they are sinful and disobedient to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), because he said, "Change this gray hair and keep it away from black; keep it away from black." He also informed that people will come in the last times who dye with black and will not smell the fragrance of Paradise. This is a severe warning. Therefore, dyeing with black is forbidden; it is not permissible for a Muslim. However, one may dye with something other than black, such as henna, katam, or something other than pure black; that is not permissible.
