Question

I I want to know who is better out of two: 1 - One who shave his beard. 2 - The one who keeps the beard but color or bleach it. Which one is considered big sin--shaving the beard or coloring the beard?

Answer

In principle, it is permissible to dye the beard with a colouring besides black. Therefore, a person with a dyed beard will be fulfilling an obligation as well as following a permissible act.
