The questioner : Umm Mu'adh from Riyadh asks and says: When performing wudu' and wiping the hair, if there is henna on it, is that permissible?
The Shaykh : Yes. It is permissible for a woman to wipe her head even if it is covered with henna, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to apply a thick layer of oil to his head when entering the state of ihram for Hajj, and it is well known that he would perform wudu' and wipe over it. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
