Via Email
Question: My hair and beard have started turning grey. By the grace of Allah (SWT), I try to perform all five daily prayers in congregation. Sometimes, I also have to lead prayers as an imam when I visit different places. My question is whether there is any religious objection to dyeing my hair and beard black, red or brown.
Answer: There is no objection to using hair dye. However, black dye should not be used without a Shariah-compliant reason. There is nothing wrong with using other colours.
