The ruling on dyeing white hair black
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A young man has developed white hair and wants to dye it black. What is the ruling?
This is deception. A man wants to get married, and he is young but has white hair on his head; this is a deceiver.But we say: It is better to dye this hair a color other than black, such as brown, by mixing henna and katam and dyeing his head with them. In that case, the gray hair will not be apparent. In fact, it is part of the Sunnah for a person to change his gray hair with something other than black. As for changing it to black, the correct view is that it is forbidden, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded avoiding black and threatened those who dye with black with a severe warning.
