Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a young man has white hair, is it permissible for him to dye it black?
The Shaykh : No, black is not permissible.
The questioner : He is not an old man, meaning.
The Shaykh : Even if he is young, it is better for him if he goes gray at a young age, so that if he is asked, "By Allah, so-and-so, are you old?" he says, "No, I am only fifteen years old, and my hair is white... young." Yes.
The questioner : ... no ... .
The Shaykh : This question is strange. It says: If a young man has white hair, then when he goes gray, it becomes black? No, I do not think so; it appears that this does not happen.
