Islamic Ruling & Answer
Walekumussalam,
Liking the color pink is permissible in itself. However, since in common custom pink is more closely associated with women, liking it or especially using it in oneโs hair may fall under imitation of women. Therefore, it should be avoided, and exercising caution is better.
