Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
By "hair" is meant all the hair of the head, beard, and mustache; therefore, the ruling applies to all such hair. Also, it should be remembered that, as with other rulings, in this matter as well, women follow the same ruling as men. That is, if women wish to dye their white hair, they too should not dye them with black color, but rather with some other color.
