May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Is applying henna designs to the palms forbidden, or is it permissible for a woman to apply henna to her entire palms without designs, without incurring any sin? May Allah reward you with good.

There is no blame on a woman for applying henna to her palms in any customary and well-known manner in her society, but what is forbidden for her is to show her palms to men who are not her mahram (a relative one may not marry).
