The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: All right, what is the ruling on changing the color of the hair with something else, like the dyes currently in vogue in our time, not just for gray hair but for the sake of change?
The Shaykh: First, if the one changing it...
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Whether it is a man or a woman, it is not permissible for him to change the coloring of Allah in his hair.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Except if he has gray hair.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Even if it is only some gray hair, in this case he may change it to any color Allah (Mighty and Majestic) created, except black.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Other than that, the colors that are religious innovations today.
The questioner : Yes.

The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: The mesh?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Ah, so this is not permissible.

The Shaykh: With regard to the one whose hair has turned gray.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: As for the one who has not turned gray, it is not permissible for him to dye with any dye.
