The Ruling on a Woman Adorning Herself for Her Husband and Dyeing Her Hair

Question:
This is a message received from a female listener of the program, in which she asks: Is it permissible for a woman to adorn herself for her husband, such as using red, white, and black in her hair? And if she does so, does she thereby alter the creation of Allah the Exalted?

Answer:
It is recommended (mustahabb) for a woman to adorn herself for her husband, because this is among the causes of his love for her and his inclination toward her. Her adorning herself for him falls under the statement: [Surat al-Nisa: 19] [Surat al-Baqarah: 228]. She should make an effort to please her husband, beautify herself for him, use perfume, and do everything that attracts him to her. This is a recommended practice (sunnah) for her, except for what Allah has forbidden. She should use what Allah has permitted, such as perfume, clothing, and the like. As for what Allah has forbidden, such as plucking the eyebrows, it is not permissible to pluck the eyebrows, even if the husband requests it. Nor is it permissible to change gray hair to black if she is an older woman with gray hair, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): .
As for dyeing her gray hair red, yellow, or a color between black and red, there is no harm in that. She may wear beautiful yellow, red, green, or white clothes, but in a way that does not imitate men. Clothing that does not involve imitation is fine, but imitating men is not permissible. In the authentic hadith: Therefore, she must not imitate men, neither in clothing nor in anything else.
As for the color being white, red, or yellow, it does no harm, but it must be in the style that women wear, not in the style of men. Yes.
