The Shaykh : What is the evidence for

The questioner : the recommended practice of women adorning themselves with henna

The Shaykh : Yes, this is the hadith mentioned, perhaps in the context of the woman's covering, where one of the women extended her hand to pledge allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The pledge from the women was by extending the hand, not by shaking hands. He said to her: meaning she had not dyed her hand, so he rebuked her. Thus, the hadith indicates that a woman dyeing her hands is one of her distinct characteristics that distinguishes her from men. We have taken this as evidence, in addition to the fact that the majority of women do this. This means that it is permissible in the Shari'ah for a woman to display her hands, but with the display, it should be one or both hands dyed to distinguish the woman's hands from the man's.

The questioner : The girls at the Islamic institute, the director of the instituteThe Shaykh : to them... regarding the dyeing, he strongly disapproved, saying, "Where did you get this from? This draws attention."

The Shaykh : This is due to his ignorance. This is due to his ignorance. And in some countries, women still use this custom. It is an old custom.
