The Ruling on Changing Grey Hair

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is changing grey hair to anything other than black obligatory?

Answer:
It is a recommended practice (sunnah). Changing it to anything other than black is a recommended practice (sunnah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Change this gray hair, and avoid blackغيروا هذا الشيب، واجتنبوا السواد
and he said:
The Jews and the Christians do not dye (their hair), so differ from them.إن اليهود والنصارى لا يصبغون؛ فخالفوهم
Sunan Ibn Majah 3621Sahih (Darussalam)
He (peace and blessings be upon him) was seen with white in his grey hair, and the Companions were the same, which indicates that they may delay dyeing for some time.
So the point is that it is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah muakkadah), yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
