Question:
What is the ruling on dyeing the beard black?

Answer:
It is forbidden to dye the beard black. It is forbidden. There is a hadith in Sunan Abu Dawud with a sound chain that says: "In the last of times, there will be people who dye their beards black like the coxae of pigeons"
they would not be admitted to Paradise and they would not smell its odourلاَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلاَ يَجِدُونَ رِيحَهَا
Sahih Muslim 2779b
. This is a warning, and a severe warning. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Change this gray hair and keep it away from black.غيروا هذا الشيب وجنبوه السواد
Yes.
