Making wudhu with henna

· 29 Safar 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Nowadays when we apply henna,after washing for a day or two its normal but after few days it starts shedding off. If we try to scratch it then it pains and causes reddishness. In such a condition, if we do wudhu, will it be permissible?

Answer

If it is porous then the wudhu is valid.

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