Question:icdbd-QA/0011

Dear Sir

Assalamualaikum. All praises to Allah.

I would be glad if you could kindly provide the answer to the following question:

What does the Sharia say about use of black dye and other dyes in hair by old men and women?

Thanks.

Wa ‘Alaikumussalaam!

Praise be to Allaah.

Using black dye is not allowed in Islam. However Henna (Mehdi) and other colors are generally allowed, if those are not harmful.

And Allah knows the best!
