Wiping over the head when it has henna on it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman asks: If a woman puts henna on her head and the time for prayer arrives, is it permissible to wipe over the head, which has henna on it, before the full ritual bath?

Answer:
She wipes over it, and there is no blame on her. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said:
We used to wipe over the bandages on our headsكنا نمسح على الضمادات على رؤوسنا
So there is nothing wrong with it. She wipes over it, and praise be to Allah.
