The Shaykh : to any color except black?
The questioner : other than black, or is it said henna?
The Shaykh : No, it is to change it to anything other than black, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So his saying "change this" applies to all types, but in any case, one does not go and dye his beard blue, yes.
