Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
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?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it for women. As for males, it is not permissible, neither for adults nor for children. Henna is not permissible for males, neither children nor adults, except if it is for medical treatment. If a person needs it for treatment, to put 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 men. This is a specific right of women, whether they are adults or children, and it does not contradict [the ruling]. Yes.
The questioner:
And Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
For men, only from the perspective of medical treatment. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man has forty-four thousand riyals?
The Shaykh:
It is permissible for men to dye gray hair. Yes.
