Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Changing it to black?

Answer:
It is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Change this white hair and avoid black.غَيِّروا هذا الشيب واجتنبوا السَّوَاد
It was narrated by Muslim in the Sahih.
Q: Is the addition at the end of the hadith an insertion or part of the hadith
And keep away from black.وجَنِّبوه السَّوَاد
?
The Shaykh: No, it is authentic and connected, and the claim that it is an insertion is incorrect.
Q: Who criticized it due to the concealment of a defect by Ibn al-Zubayr?
The Shaykh: No, that is incorrect; the hadiths are connected.
Q: The hadith:
It was narrated that Tamim Dari said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘At the end of time there will be people who will cut off camels’ humps and sheep’s tails. But what is cut from a living animal is dead.’”يكون في آخر الزمان قوم يَخْضِبون بالسواد
Sunan Ibn Majah 3217Da’if (Darussalam)

but they will not even smell the fragrance of Paradiseلا يَرِيحون رائحة الجنة
Sunan an-Nasa'i 5075Sahih (Darussalam)
