few questions about dying ones hair

Here is the answer for the first question


Question:
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)


Answer:

Praise be to Allaah .

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.

Here is the answer for the second question:

Dyeing the hair – is it permissible to wipe over dyed hair in wudoo’?

Question:
I have check this topics and you have answered my question but i was looking for more information. My question if sisters put nail polish and if they have to do wadoo they have to remove and do wahoo but what about the hair dye can we do wadoo with hair dye.

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.

It seems – and Allaah knows best –that what is put on the hair or used to make the hair stick together, such as henna and the like, does not affect wudoo’, rather it is sufficient to wipe over it.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

If a woman plasters her hair with henna or something similar, she may wipe over it, there is no need remove the substance in question, because it was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to apply something to make his hair stick together when in ihraam.

See al-Sharh al-Mumti’ by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 1/196

What is put on the head and makes the hair stick together becomes part of it, which indicates that there is some lenience with regard to purification of the head.

And Allaah knows best.

jazakAllah sister for you info, it has cleared some of the questions up,

Although im slightly still confused is blondish/Brown highlights therefore harram?

im reali skared nw. i had highlights done ages ago. does dat mean evry tym i do wudu it's not valid?

For example wearing fingernail or toenail poslish, the polish coats the nail preventing the water from being able to cleanse it properly.

Highlights are not in any way prevetning water from cleaning your hair properly in wudu.

Wa Allahu 3lim

Out of curiousity , what was the proof, if any, that the person used when saying this?

thank god 4 dat, thanks sis

hope this helps.

JazakAllah sister, that was definitely very helpful and now i know what to look out for, if i ever decide to dye it again. probly try henna this time, but the colour don’t really come out thats why i didnt usually bovver before, however henna is way more healthier for your hair and benefits it somehow ( i think it works like a conditioner and moisturises the hair,Someone correct me if im wrong) whereas normal dye tend to causes a lot of damage to your hair.

It was already mentioned above that it wouldn't affect wudu anyway, but does it effect ghusl?

commercial hair dyes do coat the hair, but i've been told their are now dyes that dont contain ammonium peroxide, so you can use them.

when i was in school, we had a huge class debate about whether or not ghusl and whudu would be counted, the R.E teacher and some other teachers told me that it would not. When you do ghusl your body should be wet, but when you wash the hair thats been dyed, the water does not reach it, because its been coated.

i dont have any hadith's to back this up, one of the teachers in our school is a scholar, i'll ask him on monday, insha'allah about this, and see what he says. i'll post up his advice, if you want.

When i had my hair dyed i didnt know that it affected wudhu or ghusl, if i'd known this i'd never have had my hair dyed.

yeah me too i had highlights done quite a while now, but it still aint full grown out and the thing that really scared me was that my mate said your wudu and therfore prayers arent valid, but one of the sisters has posted the chemical that will affect the wudu: hair dye that contains ammonium peroxide so sisters read the lables carefully from now on just like you would with food and other things as such.

yeah please do sister do that and post the teachers reply, that would be even better.

and as for the bit in bold, same here, i didnt even think it was haram let-alone it would affect our wudu.

Salam!

brothers and sisters gave their openion and it is great.

Let me tell you something about the hijab from wife to the husband I think the wife can show everything to the husband and it is not haram it would be haram to other people but not to her own husband.

[/B]It is good to hear that it is not haram because my mom does highlights because she thinks she has too much gray hair so yeah luckily that it is not haraam once my downstairs tried to dye their hair with heena but it didn;t work they puted it on till like 204hours and the friend of mine (the boy in that family) was looking so wierd i was laughing like hell but he was muslim too so is he getting suhab(good deeds)
