Classical meaning
White hair in those who respect it, such as scholars, the poor andpeople of prominence, rep resents glory and high status. If one of themdreams that his beard has turned white, he will attain glory and status,because when Ibraaheem (May Allah be please with him) saw that his beard was filled with whitehairs, he said: O Lord, what is this? It was revealed to him: This isdignity, O Ibraaheem. He said: If this is dignity then increase me indignity. And his beard became white like cotton. But for those who do not respect it, such as soldiers, young men andwomen, it signifies worries, trouble and loss of livelihood. Undoubtedlyworry hastens the appearance of white hair, hence white hair is a signof trouble. Al - Zamakhshari narrated that a man dreamt that he saw theterrors of the Day of Resurrection, and when he woke up he found thathis beard had turned w hite.
Allah knows best. This is not a fatwa.
