If I dye my beard, what is the wisdom behind avoiding black?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Perhaps the wisdom behind avoiding dyeing gray hair black - and Allah knows best - is that black creates more deception and alteration. It involves imitating youth and a falsification of one's true age, unlike red or yellow, which do not cause such deception, and it is known that the person has dyed their hair to change the gray.
