The permissibility of a woman applying henna to her head during the daytime of Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. She asks another question, Shaykh Salih: Is it permissible for a woman to apply henna to her head during the daytime of Ramadan, or is it not permissible?

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing wrong with a fasting woman applying henna to her head, or to her hands, or to her feet. This does not affect her fast. Yes.

The questioner:
Do you direct her to anything else, Shaykh Sarah? Especially since you mentioned henna on the hands or feet?

The Shaykh:
Yes, she may use henna because it has benefits for women. However, as we mentioned in the previous question, she must cover it from men and not display her hands or feet in the presence of men who are not her mahram (close relatives).
