Can I remove white hair from my mustache?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is disliked to pluck grey hairs from the head or mustache, due to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever grows a grey hair in Islam, it will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection," and his saying: "Do not pluck grey hairs, for they are a light on the Day of Resurrection," and his saying: "Grey hair is a light on a Muslim's face, so whoever wishes, let him pluck his light." As for plucking grey hairs from the beard, it is forbidden, because it is considered namṣ (plucking of hair), whose doer has been cursed.
