The ruling on changing gray hair to black in the beard

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, what is the ruling on changing hair from white to black for men in the beard, if it has mixed with it, or if it is in the beard? Then he said: if it has mixed with it, or if it is a dark brown color, what is the ruling?

Answer:
Dyeing with black is not permissible, neither for men nor for women, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade dyeing with black. However, the gray hair of men and women may be changed with something other than pure black. If the black is not pure but leans toward red, there is no harm in that. The prohibition is only for pure black. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, Your Excellency the Shaykh
