The ruling on using henna to cover gray hair

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes. May Allah bless you. Your Excellency the Shaykh, Salih 'Ali 'Abd al-Baqi from Sudan says: Is it permissible for a man to use henna on occasions to cover the white hair on his beard and head?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that; he puts henna on the gray hair, there is nothing wrong with that, but he does not put black on it, he does not dye it black, but dyeing it with henna is permissible, because it is different from black. Yes.
