Question:
What is the ruling on a woman tattooing her hand with henna? That is, by drawing decorative shapes, a rose, a star, or the like on her hand with henna? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Dyeing is permissible for a woman on her hands and on whatever it is customary to apply it to, in whatever shape is customary among the people of her land. Whatever is customary is permissible, and praise be to Allah. However, she must hide it from men who are not her mahram (relatives one may not marry). Yes.
