Dyeing hair with brown color

Question: 1008

Is it permissible for a women to dye her hair brown using a hair dye? And I don't want to use henna because it doesn't work on my hair. (although I know it is sunnah to use it)

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

There is nothing wrong with dyeing your hair brown even if you do not use henna. What is not allowed is to dye one's hair black, because of the hadeeth narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) (see question #261 )

.

Similarly it is not permitted to dye one's hair in a manner that imitates the kuffaar, like the "punks" why dye their hair in all kinds of colours. We ask Allaah for safety and health.
