Question:
What is the Shari'ah's view on the ruling regarding dyeing the beard black?
Answer:
It is forbidden to dye the beard black. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Change this white hair and avoid black." He also spoke about a group of people who dye their hair black in the end times, comparing them to the pouches of pigeons, saying they will not enter Paradise and will not smell its scent. This is a severe warning. Dyeing with pure black is forbidden. Pure black is forbidden, but black that is not pure, which leans toward red, is permissible. Pure black is forbidden because of the opinion of the majority of scholars, which is the indication of the authentic hadith.
