Ruling on dyeing gray hair with pure black

Her final question is: My mother is in her forties and the hair on her head has turned white. Is it permissible for her to dye it with black dye, or is it not permissible for her to do so? May Allah guide you.
Answer: The Sunnah is for both men and women to change their gray hair; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: in the story of Abu Quhafah. However, it should be changed to something other than black, such as red or yellow, not to pure black. If the gray hair is changed with a mixture of red and black, there is no harm, as it was reported from him (peace and blessings be upon him) . It was also reported from al-Siddiq, 'Umar, and others that they used henna and katam for dyeing. This is the Sunnah and it is the best.
It is better not to leave the hair white, but changing it to black is what is not permissible. The correct view is that it is not permissible; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: His statement: indicates that dyeing with pure black is not permissible.
In Musnad Ahmad and Sunan Abu Dawud with a good chain of narration: From Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: This is a great warning, indicating the prohibition of dyeing with black.
Whoever claims that the statement in the hadith: is an insertion has erred. The hadith is established, and his statement (peace and blessings be upon him): is connected, from the speech of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), not from the speech of anyone else, and it is established in Sahih Muslim and others.
It is obligatory for the Muslim to be cautious of what Allah has forbidden, and to be content with what Allah has legislated and made permissible. And Allah knows best.
