The Ruling on Using Meche Dye for Hair and Dyeing the Eyebrows
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe, Honorable Shaykh. He says: Recently, what is called meche dye for hair has become widespread. Is this dye permissible? And is dyeing the eyebrows also permissible?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) only commanded changing the white hair, saying: “Change this white hair and keep it away from black” for men and women. So white hair is changed to something other than black for men and women. As for hair that is not white, it is not changed, neither with henna nor with kohl nor with anything else; it is left as it is.
