The Ruling on Dyeing the Hair of the Head and the Beard
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From one of the listening brothers, at the end of his message, Sabir Muhammad Ali from al-Jawf. The brother Sabir has a message containing a collection of questions. In one of his questions, he says: Is dyeing the hair of the head and the beard lawful, or forbidden?
Answer:
The Sunnah is to dye the hair of the head and the beard when it is streaked with gray. The Sunnah is to dye it with something other than black, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to dye his hair, and the Companions did so as well. So the Sunnah is to change the gray hair to yellow or red, or to black mixed with something else.
As for pure black, this is prohibited; because the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it. This applies to both the woman and the man. It is recommended to change the gray hair for both the woman and the man, on the head for the man and the woman, and in the beard as well for the man, with this authentic hadith: May Allah send prayers and blessings upon him. Yes.
