Question:
What is the ruling on a woman dyeing her hair with the colors available in the markets to adorn herself for her husband, given that she is considered young in age?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade changing gray hair to black only. As for changing it to yellow or red, there is no harm in that. However, if a woman or a man has gray hair, he or she must not change it to black. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:.
As for a young woman who has no gray hair adorning herself with red, yellow, or other colors, that does no harm, according to the types of adornment she agrees upon with her husband that do not contradict the Shari'ah.
Q: Does this constitute imitation or resembling them?
The Shaykh: If something is specific to the disbelievers that Muslims do not do, a Muslim should not do it, as that would be resembling them. However, if it is something shared that Muslims and others do, it is not resembling them.
