Is it permissible to dye the beard black?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding dyeing the beard black, is it permissible?

The Shaykh : The correct view is that dyeing the beard black is forbidden and not permissible, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the changing of white hair and said:
Keep away from black. جنبوه السواد
.
A warning was also reported regarding whoever dyes with black. When the command to avoid it and the warning against doing it coincide, that is evidence that dyeing with black is forbidden.
