The questioner : What is the ruling on men dyeing their hair with henna on the occasion of weddings? I hope you will provide us with information on this?
The Shaykh : It is forbidden for a man to dye his hair with henna on the occasion of a wedding or any other occasion. This is because dyeing with henna is a characteristic of women. If a man does this, he is imitating a woman, and a man imitating a woman is one of the major sins. Likewise, a woman imitating a man is one of the major sins. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who imitate men and the men who imitate women. Also, this leads to a psychological state that the one who dyes his hair feels and that the one who sees him feels. It is a psychological state similar to the state of women with regard to men, or men with regard to women. This results in a great and serious fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
In summary, the answer is: A man dyeing his hair on the occasion of a wedding or otherwise is forbidden, and indeed it is one of the major sins because of the resemblance to women. Yes.
