Drawing with henna on the hands for women and men

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on drawing on the hand with henna for children and adult women?

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it for women. As for males, it is not permissible, neither for adults nor for children. That is to say, henna is not permissible for males, neither children nor adults, except if it is for the festival or if a person needs it for treatment, meaning he applies it to his head or his leg for the sake of treatment. There is nothing wrong with that. But for adornment or play, it is not permissible.

The questioner:
The knowledge of the rebels. Like this.

The Shaykh:
Major or minor, it does not contradict. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Men, only for the sake of treatment. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man has forty-four thousand riyals.

The Shaykh:
It is also permissible for dyeing white hair. It is permissible for men to dye white hair. Yes.
