Applying Mehndi For Diwali
Question
Is it permissible for artists to apply Mehndi on a person in celebration of Diwali?
Answer
No, it will not be permissible as this is tantamount to assisting someone in committing evil. The Quraan Majeed states:
“And do not assist in sin and transgression.” [Surah Maa’idah, Verse 2]
