A man using henna on his hands

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on a man using henna on his hands if this is the custom in their country?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. If he needs henna on his hands, there is nothing wrong with him using it. As for following the custom of his country, no, he does not follow the custom of his country. He does not use henna except for a need. Yes.
