The shaykh took the ruling on women dyeing their hair.
Black, red, what do you think?
This is the answer to this question, which is your question about a woman dyeing her hair with a color other than black.
It is based on an important principle, which is that the basic rule regarding things
is permissibility and allowance.
This is the basic rule, and that a person may wear what he wishes.
And he beautifies himself as he wishes, as long as there is no prohibition from the Sharia.
For example, dyeing with black is prohibited by Sharia.
Because the Prophet ﷺ said: Avoid the siwak.
And other than black may be recommended, like henna and katam.
And it may be something that is left unmentioned.
So the colors are three types.
A category that is commanded, like henna and katam.
And a category that is forbidden, which is black, and a category that is left unmentioned.
And whatever Allah has left unmentioned, if its original ruling is permissibility, then it is halal.
Based on this, we say: this dye that women use is halal.
Except if it is only used by non-Muslim women.
Then it is not allowed, because that would be imitating the disbelievers, and imitating the disbelievers.
Forbidden, as the Prophet ﷺ said.
Whoever imitates a people is one of them.
And because imitating them is a type of allegiance.
Loyalty to the disbelievers is haram, and the reason why imitating them is a type of allegiance.
When they see people imitating them.
They become stronger in their falsehood and say: people are following us.
So they become more active in their falsehood, and they use those who imitate them as evidence.
Because the one who imitates someone else.
His imitation suggests that he sees himself as lower than that other.
That is why he followed him, and so we say: some Muslims imitating the disbelievers today is a kind of allegiance.
And a kind of humiliation, they have humiliated themselves.
Wherever they go, they become followers.
The disbelievers, and he is also.
A type of disbelief, as the Prophet ﷺ said: Whoever imitates a people.
He is one of them. So if these colors that women have adopted, if these are something specific to.
The symbols of disbelieving women, then it becomes haram because of imitation.
