A woman dyed her hair with multiple colors and then wishes to dye it black to make it look close to natural; what is the ruling on that?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This woman says that she dyed her hair with multiple colors and then wishes to dye it black to make it look close to natural. Is that permissible in the Shari'ah?

Answer:
Dyeing the white hair of a woman or a man black is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Change this white hair and avoid black." So it is not to be dyed black. It is only to be dyed with other colors, such as yellow or red. Black that is not pure, black mixed with another color, is fine. Yes.
