Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on dyeing the beard with pure black?

Answer:
We ask Allah for well-being. It is not permissible. This is forbidden. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said about a group in the end times who dye their hair black like the crops of pigeons
they would not be admitted to Paradise and they would not smell its odourلا يدخلون الجنة ولا يجدون ريحها
Sahih Muslim 2779b
. This is a severe warning. Therefore, it is not permissible to dye the beard with pure black. However, dyeing it with red, henna, or yellow, as long as it is not black, is permissible. This is part of the Sunnah. Changing white hair is part of the Sunnah, but not with black. Yes.
