What is the ruling on colored dye and henna for men?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: What is the ruling on colored dye and henna for men? Is the dye and henna permissible?

Answer:
Dye for the beard, meaning one does not dye the gray hair with anything other than black. All colors except pure black are fine. Pure black is not permissible. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Change this gray hair and keep it away from black." Therefore, it is not permissible for a man to dye his beard with pure black. This is forbidden. But with henna, red, or yellow, there is nothing wrong. Yes.
