Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on men using henna on their bodies? Because I have heard some students of knowledge say that it is not permissible, as it is the perfume of women.
Answer:
If a man needs henna, there is nothing wrong with it, because henna is a type of treatment. So if he needs it for treatment, there is nothing wrong with that. Also, as mentioned to you previously, it is recommended that he dye his beard and the hair on his head with it, dyeing the gray hair with henna or dyeing the head with henna. There is no barrier for a man to use henna when there is a need for it? Yes.
