Hair dyed, prayer valid?

Assalamualaikum. Ustadz, I want to ask.

Is hair dye with Miranda Hair Color allowed? Will the prayer be valid later, Ustadz?

Basically, coloring, dyeing, or dyeing hair is legal. Even more than that, there is a suggestion from the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam in his hadith through his friend Abu Hurairah radiyallahu 'anhu:

"Indeed, Jews and Christians do not want to dye their hair, because that's different from you and them." (HR Bukhari)

Moreover, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam also said:

ان له ليكرمْه (رواه اود)

"Whoever has hair, let him honor it." (HR Abu Dawud)

The way to glorify it is by combing, oiling, and polishing it to disguise gray hair.

However, the ruling on dyeing hair pure black is disputed by scholars. The majority of scholars are of the view that it is makruh, while the Syafi'iyah scholars are of the opinion that it is unlawful.

Syekh Yusuf Qardhawi in his book, Al-Halal wal Haram fil Islam, mentions that many of his friends are allowed to dye their hair black. Among them Saad bin Abi Waqqash, Uqbah bin Amir, Hasan, Husain, and Jarir radliyallãhu 'anhum.

Meanwhile, the popular opinion of the Shafi'i school forbids the use of black for hair coloring. The black exception is only for those who go to war. As for daily use it is not allowed.

This is because there are several narrations that explain as mentioned by the friend Jabir bin Abdillah radliyallahu 'anhu, he said, "At the time of fathu Mecca, Abu Quhafah came in a state (hair) head and beard white like a tree tsaghamah (which is all white, good flowers and fruit). Then Rasulullah shallallãhu 'alaihi wasallam said: "Change this (Abu Quhafah's hair and beard) with something, but stay away from black." (Reported by Muslim, Nasa'i and Abu Dawud)

In another hadith, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam said:

يخضبون الزمان السواد اصل الحمام، لا ائحة الجنة (رواه اود)

"At the end of time, there will be a people who will shine as black as a pigeon's crop. They will not smell heaven." (Narrated by Abu Dawud).

Al-Hafizh Ibn Hajar Al-'Asqalani in the book Fathul Bari syarah Shahih Bukhari, said, "Some scholars have given rukhshah (lightening) in terms of dyeing hair black, namely in jihad (war)."

Others provide absolute relief. But the best opinion is that it is makruh.

Imam Nawawi is more inclined to argue that makruh tahrim (makruh that is close to haram). However, some groups of friends provide relief such as; Sa'ad bin Abi Waqqash, Uqbah bin Amir, Hasan bin Ali, Husein bin Ali, and Jarir as mentioned above.

Then, does dyeing your hair cause ablution and prayer to be invalid?

If the material used is safe and does not cover the hair, then ablution and bathing are valid. However, if the material used can cover the hair, then ablution and bathing are not valid.

Among the hair polish ingredients that are safe and recommended by the Prophet sallallãhu 'alaihi wasallam are henna and katam. He said, "Surely the best ingredients used for polishing are henna (henna) and katam (henna)." (Reported by Tirmidhi, Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah).

So a Muslim must pay attention to the polish material he will use. Because lest he intend to glorify hair but instead humiliate it by damaging it through the use of unsafe and healthy polishes.

The Miranda brand hair dye is one of the recommended hair dye products because it has good quality and contains ingredients that are safe and halal. This product has been registered with BPOM and received a halal label.

There are also other halal hair dyes, such as henna, etc.

Hope it works!

Peace, mercy and blessings of God
