May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on men using henna?

Henna? Yes. If it is for the sake of treatment, there is nothing wrong with it; men may use it for treatment. If it is for the sake of beautification and adornment, this involves imitating women. However, in some countries, it is customary to adorn men with henna. In our country, it is not the custom of men. In a country where this is not the custom, it is not permissible. Yes.
