Ruling on changing hair color to red or other colors
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some women change their hair to a red color?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it; red is permissible. What is forbidden is black. As for changing it to red, or a shade between red and black, or yellow, there is nothing wrong with it.
Q: What if their intention is the style or the fashion?
A: The intention is to change the gray hair to something other than black, and there is nothing wrong with it regardless of the intention, provided there is no imitation. So if it is something specific to the disbelievers, it is not permissible for them.
Q: From the fashion: Is this imitating the disbelievers?
A: If it is in the lands of the disbelievers, one should not imitate them. But if the people of his country do that among the Muslims—yellow, or red, or he sees that this is more suitable for him and he did not intend to imitate—then there is nothing wrong with it.
