Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Al-Tayyib Musa, a Sudanese resident of 'Afeef, says to us: There are customs in Sudan where, when a person gets married, he puts henna on his hands and feet. Is this considered imitating women, or what? What is the ruling from the Shari'ah and the Sunnah on this? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This depends on the customs of the country. If it is the custom of the people of the country to use this, then there is no harm in it. However, if it is not the custom of the country for men to use this, and it is a characteristic of women, then it is not permissible. Yes.
