Question:
This female listener asks: What is your opinion on a woman using black dye on her hair? Is it forbidden or permissible?
Answer:
If the hair is white from grayness or discolored, yes. It should be changed with something that removes the color of the grayness or removes the discolored appearance, meaning it is dyed with something other than black. As for black, it is not permissible to dye with it; it is not permissible to dye gray hair with it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Change this grayness and avoid pure black." The intended meaning is pure black. As for non-pure black or other colors that change the grayness or the discolored appearance in the hair, there is no harm in them. Yes.
