Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it better to change gray hair to something other than black, or is it better to leave it as it is?
Answer:
It is better to change it, but if he leaves it, there is nothing wrong with that. A group of the Companions left their gray hair and did not change it, which indicates that this is not obligatory; changing it is not obligatory. They wanted to show that it is permissible. We saw Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim and Shaykh Ibn Hamid, and none of them changed their hair. Yes.
