The ruling on drawing on the hand with henna

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on drawing on the hand with henna for children and adult women?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it for women, but it is not permissible for males, neither adults nor children. Henna is not permissible for males, neither children nor adults, except if it is for treatment. If a person needs it for treatment, such as placing it on his head or his leg for the sake of treatment, there is nothing wrong with that. But for adornment or for play, this is not permissible for women. This is a matter of women’s interaction, whether they are adults or children, and it is not to be prevented. It is permissible for men only for the sake of treatment, and it is permissible for men in dyeing white hair.
