The Shari'ah Purpose of Avoiding Black Dye
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
In truth, Your Eminence, some people say: If I dye my beard, what is the wisdom in avoiding black?
Answer: Allah knows best. The reason for avoiding black is that black causes more deception and misleading people. The person wants to resemble the youth, to appear as if he is in the age of youth and the stage of youth. As for red and yellow, they do not cause such deception. Red and yellow are recognized as gray hair; it is known that he is graying and that he dyed it to change the gray. But with black, confusion arises. It results in falsification and what should not be done in terms of deceiving people, as if he is saying, "I have not grayed; I am young." This is a type of actual lying, real lying, unlike dyeing with red or yellow, which is clear. Yes.
