Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “The Jews and the Christians do not dye (their grey hair), so you shall do the opposite of what they do (i.e. dye your grey hair and beards).”

This Hadees is from Shahi Bukhai Book of 'Virtues and Merits of the Prophet (pbuh) and his Companions'
Number 668. It does not give any more details about what to use for dying your hair.

It is important to decide whether your wuzu will be valid or not if you use a hair dye which quotes your hair.
If it will be valid then the wuzu with nail polish and other kind of makeups should be valid too.

Re: How far is this true..?

This hadees does not have all those details. May be another hadees. If you know which one please post that one here with all the references.
thanks.

Re: How far is this true..?

and i've heard that eemaan ka daaromaddaar neeyat per hai.. what if the neeyat is pure?.. prayer will not be valid? and wont be answered?

Re: How far is this true..?

I belong to same school of thought you do. I was answering the question about why this hadees is important.
In my view this hadees is important to the extent that if wuzu of a man can be valid in spite of the fact that he has dyed his hair with something which quotes hair to change the color.
Then following the same line of reasoning the wuzu of women who has nail polish on nails on makeup should be valid too.
I think now a days there should be no reason for anybody to be hypocrite (munafiq) among the ranks of Muslims. So anybody who is prying namaz he/she is prying just for Allah. There might be some kids who would pray just to please their parents or some employees who would be praying to be in good books of bosses but a majority of praying Muslims pray with just one neeyat : To fulfill an obligation laid by Allah.
