His second question says: You stated that attaching hair, shaving the eyebrows, and dyeing hair are forbidden for women; what is the ruling on this for men?

The questioner : He says: You stated that attaching hair, shaving the eyebrows, and dyeing hair are forbidden for women; what is the ruling on this for men?

The Shaykh : As for attaching hair for men, it is forbidden, just as it is for women.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : And the hadith: This restriction is because that is the common practice, for men do not attach hair. However, if they do so, they are like women in this matter. Likewise, the plucker of eyebrows and the one who plucks her eyebrows, who is the one who plucks the hair from her face, including the eyebrows; this also applies to men. The reason men were not mentioned is that it is not the custom of a man to concern himself with beautification and adornment; rather, that is the custom of women. Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said: meaning the woman and a man should concern himself with the noble of morals and the high of etiquette, manliness, generosity, and chivalry, not that he should make himself in the position of a female, plucking his eyebrows, plucking the hair from his cheeks and his beard, and the like.
As for dyeing hair, it is also general for men and women, and the Sunnah did not come with a specification for women as it did for attaching hair and plucking eyebrows. Therefore, it is general, and it is not permissible for a woman or a man to dye his white hair black, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So when he said: it is a command, and a command implies obligation. Then it was narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with a chain that some graded as good, a warning against whoever dyes with black. And because dyeing with black is a contradiction of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, in what He made of the nature of humans and their creation. For it is the nature of humans that when they grow old, their hair turns white. So the one who tries to blacken it means that he is contradicting Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, in what His wisdom necessitated of this creation. And it is not befitting for a person to contradict Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, in this except according to the command of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. And if Allah has forbidden through the tongue of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), indeed He has commanded through the tongue of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to avoid black, then let a person avoid it. But it is possible to change this gray hair with a color between black and red, which is dark brown, for that is not black and there is no harm in it. Yes.
