Dyeing the Beard Black and What Has Been Transmitted Regarding It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
One of the brothers says that Shaykh al-Ansari (may Allah have mercy on him) issued a book in which he clarified the permissibility of dyeing the beard black, and that what was transmitted from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is merely an addition by the narrator. What is your opinion, may Allah preserve you?
The Shaykh:
I have not seen this book. Which al-Ansari does he mean, Hammad or al-Ansari Isma'il? Or does he corrupt it as well? I have not seen this statement. This statement was said by others; this statement was said, and Ibn al-Jawzi also said it, that the narration is inserted. "Keep away from the black" is an insertion. But I am ignorant of this statement.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
