What is the ruling on a woman dyeing her hair black?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you. How are you? I am well, and all praise is due to Allah.
The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, what is your opinion on dyeing white hair with black dye for a married woman to adorn herself for her husband?
The Shaykh : All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets and the Imam of the Pious, and upon his family and his Companions, and those who follow them in excellence until the Day of Judgment. It is not permissible, but she should mix henna with the black so that the color appears brown, not pure black. Very well, may Allah reward you with good. Thank you, may Allah keep you safe. Very well.
