The ruling on dyeing white hair black
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If gray hair appears before the age of thirty, meaning out of its normal time, is it permissible to dye the hair black?
The Shaykh:
He should not dye it anything other than black; he should dye it yellow, red, or the color between black and red, meaning a black that is not pure, which does not contradict the ruling. As for pure black, it is not permissible to dye gray hair black.
The questioner:
Do you wish for an explanation?
The Shaykh:
Black. Yes.
The questioner:
Even if he is young, meaning it may be the result of an illness.
The Shaykh:
Whether he is young or old, he changes it, but with something other than black. Yes. And I do not think there is anyone who wants gray hair while he is young. But perhaps he does not want to look old and says, "I am young; the gray hair knows you better than I do."
