      When I lived in Qatar I was told it was against (some interpretations of) the Muslim faith to dye your hair it’s natural color because it was a sign of vanity so when men went grey they would typically dye their beards and sometimes hair orange.

      I never verified this and I’m not an expert but it’s what I was told so take this with a ChatGPT size grain of salt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      In Saudi, some of our elders do that. They call it Henna (women also use it to draw on themselves in celebrations, just like tattoos). Muhammed used to do it; therefore it is a Sunnah.
