Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Q&A Permeability of Hair Dye

regarding the hair dye which is permissible of the two, in terms

of permissibility of hair dye, there's two aspects of it. Number

one, is the aspect of whether when you coat your hair, because

generally when you dye your hair, the dye is a long term idea, it's

not something you do for two hours, and then you take it off.

If it's a temporary hair dye, which coats the hair creates a

barrier, then it's permissible. But you won't be able to make wudu

or will do, because the water will not permeate the hair. And if

that's the case, then your will do won't be valid. But otherwise, if

you just had it on for two hours, for example, if that's such a

thing, then that's fine. It's a permanent hair dye, then it's

something you put into your hair, like you put hair on your hands or

your hair, and then you image it, then you eventually remove it

after a few hours or whatever. And it's the color that infuses into

the hair that permeates the hair strands. So there's no physical

body left of the dye. So there's no wudu issue in that case. So

permanent dyes are allowed as long as you just don't do any funky

colors to make you look sloppy, right? And it's any decent color.

And then we've got the we've got the avoidance of black, right for

the from the prophets of Allah isn't just avoid black. Other than

that dark brown or any other color. It's permissible

as long as the ingredients are halal. And so the way the impinges

on purity issues or whether its ingredients are halal, that's

really what matters.
