Applying henna to the hands and feet of a deceased woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: When a woman dies in our country, after she is washed, they apply henna to her hands and feet. Is this prescribed?

Answer:
No, this is not prescribed. A deceased woman is not adorned; this is part of adornment and beautification.
