Dyeing the Black Beard with Blond
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is it permissible for a man to dye his beard blond, given that his beard is black and has no gray in it, and he only wants to dye it because he desires that color?
Answer:
That is like the women who change their hair to other colors. This is not permissible as long as the beard is black; that is the most beautiful thing. He should not change it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded changing the gray hair, and it is changed with something other than black. As for changing hair that is not gray, that is changing the creation of Allah without need. The black beard is left black, and that is the most beautiful thing. If it turns white, it is changed with something other than black, such as something blond, or something red, or yellow.
