Dying the hair black

Submitted by admin on Mon, 2016-10-17 14:24

Q: I am a twenty years old. Since January I have a disease. Now I am recovering. My question is that this disease has caused my hair to turn white before age. I know that it is haraam to pluck white hair and also that one falls in Allah's eyes by doing such deeds. But I have also heard that young muslims can even dye their hair black if they wish. I want to ask that is it permissible to pluck such white hair that are growing before age and are a result of a temporary disease?

A: The dye should not be pure black. Brownish black is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
