The Ruling on Dyeing Hair

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Her third question is: Is dyeing hair lawful or forbidden?
Answer: Dyeing hair, if it is with pure black, is not permissible for both men and women. However, if it is dyed with yellow, green, or something else, there is nothing wrong with it. But with pure black, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this. He said:
Change this white hair and avoid black.غيروا هذا الشيب وجنبوه السواد
.
So the conclusion is that it is not permissible with pure black, neither for a woman nor for a man. As for changing the gray hair with something other than black, such as black mixed with henna, or red, or yellow, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
