Question

What colours should one use when dying the hair in a jaiz (permissible) way?

Answer

The colours that are generally used by good practising Muslims, like mehndi etc. can be used, provided there is a need to dye the hair. Black should be avoided.

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