Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a woman applies henna to her head, is it permissible for her to wipe over it, or must she remove it when performing wudu'?
Answer:
No, henna does not prevent water from reaching the skin; water penetrates it and passes through, so there is no need to remove the henna.
