The ruling on dyeing the beard black
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on dyeing the beard black? And what is the ruling on the one who does that?
Answer:
It is not permissible to dye gray hair—whether on the head or the beard—with black dye; because it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in authentic hadiths the prohibition of that, and it is prescribed to change it to something other than black, such as red or yellow, or henna and katam mixed together; due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): from the hadith of Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both), and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Ibn Majah 3621Sahih (Darussalam) agreed upon for its authenticity from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), and success is from Allah.

Change this gray hair, and keep it away from black
غيروا هذا الشيب، وجنبوه السوادThe Jews and the Christians do not dye (their hair), so differ from them.
إن اليهود والنصارى لا يصبغون، فخالفوهم
