Q: Someone has asked me to mix black mendi for them so they can apply it to the white hairs of their beard. I heard black mendhi or black dye is impermissable. So if I mix red mendhi with the black mendhi and make it dark brown will this be allowed?

Q: I read the hadith "The difference between us and the pagans is that we wear the 'imama on top of the qalansuwa" (Abu Dawud). Does this mean that the mere wearing of a topi resembles the practise of the pagans and that it is better for us to wear imamas? The only problem for me wearing an imama is that it is uncommon amongst the Muslims where I live, most people including elders and teachers wear topi, and I am afraid that I give myself a higher rank than I am worth if I wear an imama. Is this a valid excuse not to wear an imama?
