Is it permissible to dye hair black to get rid of its whiteness, and is there a supplication to stop hair from turning white?
The of the Prophet encouraged dyeing grey hair with colors other than black. The majority of scholars consider dyeing grey hair black to be disliked (), while some have gone further to prohibit it due to the severe warnings mentioned for those who do it, and because it may fall under the category of deception and fraud.
There is no specific supplication to stop the appearance of grey hair. However, one can supplicate for any good. It is advisable to consult a specialized doctor regarding the condition.
A believer must be patient and content with Allah's decree and destiny when afflicted with the early appearance of grey hair or other trials.
