Dyeing fingertips with henna

Q 2: Is applying henna (a plant that produces a reddish-orange dye) only to the fingertips Haram (prohibited)? I heard that it is. It is also said that applying it to the palms of the hand is questionable. Thank you.


A: The basic ruling on using henna for women is that it is permissible. It is considered a sort of embellishment and a source of beauty for them, and this is one of their characteristics. There is no harm in applying it to the fingertips or the palms, if this is the custom women follow.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
