Question

A man's wife is seven years younger than him and his beard hair is turning white, whilst her hair is black. Is it permissible for him to use dark brown dye, which makes the hair look black, provided the ingredients are halaal and the dye does not coat the hair and the water reaches the roots? If this is not permissible, what other products and colours can be used?

Answer

Yes, but not so dark brown that it will appear to be black.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
