A man changing the color of his natural hair

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If the hair color is natural, is it permissible for a man to change it to another color?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him. Changing the creation of Allah is not allowed. One only changes the white hair, as it is reported that white hair is to be changed with something other than black. This is what the Sunnah has come with. As for beautiful hair that has no white in it, it remains as it is. Yes.
