Is it permissible to dye the beard with colors other than henna, such as blue and yellow?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is recommended to change gray hair with a color other than black, such as red or yellow, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Change this (gray hair) with something, but avoid black." Therefore, the matter remains permissible as long as it does not involve imitating disbelievers.
