Is plucking white hair from the entire body prohibited?
Answer:
The apparent meaning of the hadith is general, yes. The hair of the beard and the head is changed with yellow or red dye, not with black.
Q: Is it the same for the hands and feet?
The Shaykh: The hands do not have hair. As for what has hair, one goes and removes it; there is nothing wrong with that. The discussion is about the hair of the head, the hair of the beard, and the mustache. The hands and feet are not places where hair grows, though some people are afflicted with hair there.
Q: Does this indicate that the act is a major sin?
The Shaykh: Its apparent meaning is a warning, yes, which implies that it is a majorSunan an-Nasa'i 5075Sahih (Darussalam) warning.
