Question:
What is the ruling on dyeing the beard black?

Answer:
Dyeing the beard black is not permissible; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Change this gray hair and avoid black.غيروا هذا الشيب واجتنبوا السواد
, and in the other wording:
And keep them away from the Blackوجنبوه السواد
, there are other hadiths indicating the prohibition of dyeing with black, and that it is not permissible for a Muslim man or a Muslim woman to change their white hair with pure black. However, if it is mixed with something else, meaning: between black and red, there is no harm. As for pure black, it is not permissible for either the man or the woman. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
