Asalaamu alaikum..
Though I'm a bit reluctant to post a question here, I find I'm in a bind and kinda have to.
Why can't Muslim men dye their beards black? I dye my beard but I won't use henna since to me that's a very unnatural tint (orange?) for my beard. A friend of mine - also Muslim - asked if I would ever dye it black. I told him I had read somewhere that it was haram to dye the beard black. When I tried to ask Shaykh Google why it was haram I got about 3 pages discussing Osama Bin Ladin's beard and I just can't be bothered with all that.
So I came here to ask.
I thought there was a hadith about it but as I mentioned above I can't find it. Thanks in advance.
