Question

Is it permissible for ladies to use black mehndi for their nails and applying on their hands?

Answer

It has been brought to our attention that this is a symbol of the satanic cult. If this is true, then women should refrain from applying black mehndi on their nails and hands.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
