Dyeing White Hair Black

Question

Hello, is it permissible for a man to dye his white hair black?

Answer

Hello,

It is forbidden even for a single hair, even with temporary black dye.

And although there are people who dye their hair, nevertheless, this is not the custom of righteous individuals, and therefore it is forbidden due to the prohibition of "not wearing women's clothing."
