Hair dye

Q:

1. What is the Shar'ee ruling regarding hair dye? Is it permissible to use?

2. What colours of dye should one use and which colours should one avoid using?

3. Is there any difference in the ruling between men and women?

4. Is it permissible to use hair dye which is non-porous and prevents the water from touching the hair? If one used such dye, will one's wudhu and ghusal be complete?

5. I heard that applying mehndi is a Sunnah. Can a person dye his beard or hair with mehndi and will one receive the reward of the Sunnah if one applies it?

Hair dye

Q: I would like ask when getting ones hair professionally dyed, bleach (ammonia) is normally used to aid in transitioning from dark to light or vice verse. I have heard that ammonia forms a layer over the hair but am unsure whether this is true as Islamicaly permanent dyes are permissible. Please let me know whether getting ones hair dyed professionally is allowed particularly when it's to cover grey hair as a means of adornment for the husband.

Hair dyes

Q: There are many colour dyes available in the market. It is said that using these dyes are haraam because it contains chemicals if they are applied on beard they prevent the hair from getting wet. It is obligatory that the beard should get wet while doing wudhu else our wudhu is invalid. Please clarify? Do these latest dyes cover the hair with a layer like nail polish or they bleach the hair with colour? Even if we use these chemical dyes the hair gets wet and washed while bathing. I fail to understand how only while doing wudhu they don’t get wet and washed? This defies logic and science. Please advise.
