Ruling on Plucking White Hair and Dyeing Hair Black

Question:
Is it permissible to pluck the white hair on the head, even if it is only a little?

Answer:
This was mentioned in the lecture. It is not permissible to pluck white hair; white hair is not plucked, for it is the light of the Muslim. It was also reported in another hadith: Therefore, it is not permissible to pluck white hair. The least of its rulings is severe dislike. So it is not permissible to pluck white hair. And if it is in the beard, it becomes more severe, so it is not permissible to pluck it from the beard, and it is disliked to pluck it from the head, for it is the light of the Muslim. It is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or from his Companions that they plucked it, so it is not permissible to pluck it.
Nor is it permissible to dye with black. I have heard from some people that they may dye with black, and this is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
So the Sunnah is to change it with red, or with henna and katam. As for the claim of some people that his saying: is interpolated, this is an error; it is not interpolated, but it is the very words of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayer and peace be upon him) narrated by Muslim in the Sahih, and by a group of other scholars of knowledge, and in the Sunan, and in the Musnad of Ahmad from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: We ask Allah for safety. This is a severe warning that indicates the severity of the prohibition.
When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw the head of Abu Quhafah, an old man, the father of al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), he saw his head and his beard white like the thughamah plant, and he said (peace and blessings be upon him): But if it is mixed with katam, with henna and katam, with henna alone; there is no harm. But pure black; it is not permissible. And if some people do it, do not be deceived by some people. Some of the Salaf did it, and it is narrated from some of the Companions that they did it, but that is understood to mean that the prohibition did not reach them. Whoever did it from the Companions, and from the Salaf of the early scholars of knowledge; it is understood that the prohibition did not reach them. If the prohibition had reached them, they would have hastened to leave it and not done it, may Allah be pleased with them and grant them satisfaction.

Question : Is it permissible for the leader, or the ruler?
