Whether it is permissible or not to use black dye in the hair and beard?



Question:
What is the ruling of the Ulama-e-Ahle Sunnat Wa Jamaat, regarding whether it is permissible or not to use black dye (in the hair and beard)? Some Ulama give the verdict of it being permissible.

The Answer:
Red or yellowish colour is good and yellowish (saffron like) is better and black dye has been referred to as the dye of the Kaafirs in the Hadith Shareef. In another Hadith Shareef, it has been stated that on the day of Qiyaamat Almighty Allah will make such a persons face black. This dye is Haraam. The fatwa (verdict) which says it to be permissible is baseless and rejected. Our detail answer to this has been published a long time ago.
