The Ruling on Dyeing with Pure Black
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, the questioner is asking about the ruling on dyeing with black, whether for the hair of the head or the hair of the face?
Answer:
Pure black is not permissible, neither for men nor for women. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Change this gray hair and avoid black; avoid black.” So it is not permissible to dye the gray hair with black. One only does it with black that is not pure, if the black has a tinge of tamar (date) color, or a red or yellow color, then there is no harm in that. As for pure black, it is not permissible for men or women, due to the generality of the hadith and what came in Sunan Abu Dawud regarding the people of the end times who dye with black like the hooves of pigeons; they will not smell the fragrance of Paradise. This is a severe warning, and we seek refuge in Allah. Yes.
