The questioner : A woman dyes her hair with henna while she is menstruating; what is the ruling on that?
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with it. A woman may dye her hair while she is menstruating or in a state of purity, at night or during the day. However, it has become widespread among many women that dyeing hair with henna is obligatory, but that is not correct. Dyeing hair with henna is among the beautifications that women perform. So, if a woman is married and needs to adorn herself for her husband, she uses it. And if she does not want to use it, there is no blame on her. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
