Question

Does mehndi have any basis or significance in Islam?

Answer

Yes, it is recommended for women. And men could apply it to their hair and beard when they have aged and their hair has turned colour.

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

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
