بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي صِفَةِ وَجْهِهِ وَشَعْرِهِ ﷺChapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding the Description of His Face and Hair ﷺ
Hadith 11141
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْضِبُ بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالْكَتَمِ وَكَانَ شَعْرُهُ يَبْلُغُ كَتِفَيْهِ أَوْ مَنْكِبَيْهِ
Sayyiduna Abu Rimthah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to dye his hair with henna and katam, and his hair would reach his shoulders.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: ... Katam: It is a herb found in Yemen; it produces a reddish-black color, whereas the color of henna (mehndi) is red. If katam and henna are mixed, an intermediate color between black and red is produced, which we call (radi Allahu anhuma, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, rahimahullah, radi Allahu anhu, brown).
In summary, it is not permissible to dye the beard and head hair with a color that appears clearly black. For further clarification, see the next chapter.
