The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, my question revolves around dyeing hair black. It falls into three categories:
The first category: Is it permissible for a person whose hair is naturally black to dye it black to strengthen this type and for beautification?
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : The second category: If a woman’s natural hair color is black and she changes it to another color, such as yellow or red, and then wants to return her hair to its original black color, is it permissible for her to dye it black?
And the third category, may Allah bless you: Is it permissible to dye with black henna, which is called black dye?
The Shaykh : As for dyeing black for one who has been affected by gray hair, this is not permissible because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded changing the gray hair, and it is said: Also, there is a hadith in this regard containing a warning for whoever does that, and because it contradicts the creation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). This is one point.
As for one who dyes with black to increase its blackness, I do not think it is like that, because the original state of hair is black. However, with that, I see that it should not be done.
As for one who dyes black hair with another color and then wants to return it to black, there is nothing wrong with that, because he is only returning it to his original creation. As for black henna, it is black, but it should be mixed with yellow henna so that the color becomes brown, not pure black.

Keep away from black.
