Question:
Some of our brothers shave their beards completely, while others leave a little on the tip of the chin. Among them are those who dye it with black dye, and they all say: “There is no prohibition or forbiddance in the Book or the Sunnah regarding shaving the beard or dyeing it black, nor is there any evidence to establish that.” Knowing that some of them shave and some dye, and they consider themselves to be in the right according to their statements, we ask Your Eminence for a sufficient and satisfying answer to this issue. Your sons: B. H. A - M. 'A. S - 'A. S. M.
A: And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
And after: It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the two Sahihs and others, from the hadith of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: And in the wording of al-Bukhari: And Muslim narrated in his Sahih, from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Sahih Muslim 260 And in Sahih Muslim, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: And in the Sunan with a sound chain, from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Sunan Abi Dawud 4212Sahih (Al-Albani) It was narrated by Abu Dawud and al-Nasa'i, and this is a severe warning, which indicates that this act is one of the major sins.
We ask Allah to protect us all from the causes of His anger, and from obeying desire and Satan.

Trim the mustaches, and let the beards grow; differ from the polytheists
قصوا الشوارب، وأعفوا اللحى؛ خالفوا المشركينTrim the mustaches and let the beards grow; differ from the polytheists
قصوا الشوارب، ووفروا اللحى؛ خالفوا المشركينTrim closely the moustache, and grow beard, and thus act against the fire-worshippers.
جزوا الشوارب، وأرخوا اللحى؛ خالفوا المجوسChange this gray hair, and avoid black
غيروا هذا الشيب، واجتنبوا السوادAt the end of time there will be people who will use this black dye like the crops of doves who will not experience the fragrance of Paradise.
يكون في آخر الزمان قوم يخضبون بالسواد كحواصل الحمام، لا يريحون رائحة الجنةWe ask Allah to protect us all from the causes of His anger, and from obeying desire and Satan.
