The questioner : Is it permissible to decorate the hands with henna and to shape and adorn them?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is permissible in accordance with what is customary, because it is recommended for a woman to adorn herself for her husband to the extent she is able. Her adorning herself for her husband usually entails that he is drawn to her and loves her. Likewise, if she adorns herself for her husband and senses that he loves it, that increases her love for her husband. And anything that strengthens the bonds of connection and love between the two spouses is sought after.
