Which is more severe: not changing the gray hair or shaving the beard?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His statement: "Therefore, this imitation is forbidden, unlike the first, which is not part of our actions" — is it not suitable to be a general rule?
The Shaykh : In any case, it is definitely less severe. I mean, what is done by the servant is more severe. For example, shaving the beard is more severe than not dyeing the hair, because the former involves changing something Allah created. That is, Allah created the whiteness of the gray hair, and you did not change it. The whiteness of the gray hair is not from your action, unlike shaving. This is his intended meaning. Yes, it appears that the time has ended.
