The ruling on dyeing white hair black

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We conclude this session with a question from Sister Umm Salimah. She says: I have a daughter who is twenty-five years old, and white hair has started to appear in her hair. Is it permissible for her to dye it black?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to dye the hair black, due to the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding that, in his statement: "Change this white hair and keep it away from black." Therefore, pure black is forbidden for men and women. The white hair should be dyed with something other than pure black. Yes.
