What is the ruling on women using chemical dyes, especially what is known as "mesh" (highlights)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The basic principle regarding women's adornment is permissibility, except for what is prohibited by evidence. A woman dyeing her hair is permissible as long as there is no -based impediment, such as imitating disbelievers, or if it is with pure black dye—according to what we issue fatwas on—or with a harmful substance. "Highlights" are permissible.
