The ruling on dyeing the beard or hair with pure black
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on dyeing with pure black, dyeing the hair, whether it is the beard or the head?
Answer:
It is not permissible. Gray hair is changed with something other than black. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Change this gray hair and keep it away from black.” And it came in a hadith: Sahih Muslim 2779b This is a severe warning, and I seek refuge in Allah. So it is not permissible to dye the beard with black. It is dyed with something other than black, with henna, with katam, with saffron.

In Sunan Abu Dawud, and it is an authentic hadith, that a group of people in the end times will dye with black,
في سنن أبي داود وهو حديث صحيح أن قوما في آخر الزمان يخضبون بالسواد،and they would not be admitted to Paradise and they would not smell its odour
كحواصل الحمام لاَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلاَ يَجِدُونَ رِيحَهَا
