Machine translationRead the Arabic original
In some villages, men use henna on their feet, whether for cooling or for other reasons. What is the ruling?
The ruling in this matter is that a man who dyes his feet or hands with henna is imitating women, because dyeing the feet and palms with henna is a characteristic of women.And you know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (The Prophet cursed the men who imitate women and the women who imitate men).
However, if there is a need, there is nothing wrong with it; but he should apply it in a manner that differs from how women dye, so that it is not considered imitation.
