salam i have never heard of such thing. it maybe true but it sound wired. it could be to do with wudu but then again that would be a everyday thing. its not making sense as to why you should not apply mehndi during periods. its maybe a culture thing where someone applied during periods and died and every one said look what happens when you apply mehndi during periods and then this became a symbol trademark.

It’s not your fault sister, but you are a product of the culture and religion merger pre-partition. Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs have lived side by side for years, during this period the boundaries of religion and culture and traditions have been crossed and blurred to a point we don’t know what is right and what is wrong. Muslims adopted Sikh and Hindu customs believing it to be their faith Astagfirullah, let me give you a few examples, Mehndi tradition, girls dancing freely, bride throwing rice over her head at the time of Rukhsati and many more crazy traditions, Pakistan is held accountable for many weird and ridiculous customs that makes one cry tears of blood. Sikhs have emulated the Sunnah, for example they place a droplet of honey into a newborns mouth.

In conclusion our paths have crossed; we lost our way and implemented the wrong traditions and customs. We need go back to the basics, and ask ourselves what is Islam? We must read and understand the Quraan e Paak and not let the blessed words just sit on our tongues, but allow it to travel down our throats into our hearts, and only then we will understand what our religion requires off us, believe me it’s not as much as society demands from us.

As far as I am concerned, if a girl is in her monthly cycle, she is prohibited to hold and read the Quraan e paak, she cannot pray salah, she is excused from fasting but must make up for it after Ramadhan.

And if anyone proves me otherwise, with refrences, that Mehndi is prohibted during the menstruation I will happily stand in front of a bus!!

[Muhsin786]

what is so immoral about applying mehdi during menstruation to make it haram?

[Kaneez-e-Tahir]

Assalam u alaikum..I heard in QTV some scholar telling that Sahaba Karaam used to advice their women to apply mehndi during that period because they don't need to do wudu at that time..

[Fatema-the-resplendent]

Ladies, I'm sure there are greater pressing issues than menstruation. Sister KTL has made some very valid points and I hope you can take them on board. Think big rather than small, my advice to all my lovely sisters.

dear its not immorality but respect

sum ppl say that our Beloved Prophet said women to apply mehndi and they don feel comfortable,  they have such respect that we don want to apply it during napaki  but then again there are many other sunnah that we do perform during periods...

and sis KTL don need to stand b4 bus u better sit in it and go to any imam or shiekh :)

i know imam but i cant ask such questions with him and asking it over forum is different...

[Sister-AashiqueRasool]

Salaam sis, you can wear henna during your cycle. It doesn't make the wudhu invalid either so I don't really get where some people are coming from. Wear it, as it's been advised by the Beloved Rasool (SalAllahu ta'ala alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam) :)

[meritamannaMadinah]

Salaams sister

I personally don't put mehndi on at such a time and I am not completely but I have heard it can come out quite faded though in early or middle days, not sure if 100% true. I wouldn't feel too comfortable but if it is a sunnah then that is a diffeerent matter i guess.. although i wasnt aware of that.

[bebaak_sadaqat]

It is a superstition from Indo_Pak among Barelwis.

[arzooemadinah]

All old wives tales even many ladies they brought up like that and they believe that one lady have to put hina swa mun about 50 kg in her life and surma same and have to wear glass bangels etc dont know how much in wieght in her life before her death . I think sister we need to jump from a double bus.

While I mostly agree with you about the inclusions and combination's of other cultiure and religions mixing amongst Muslims.

I'm just pasting from another site.


Is it permissble for women to put henna on their hands/nails during menstrual period? My wife has heard that women should not do this, can you please advise.


Praise be to Allaah.
It is permissible for a woman to put henna on her hands and nails during her menstrual period and at other times. Indeed, a number of the fuqaha’ regarded it as mustahabb for a woman to dye her hands with henna at the time of her menses, because then she does not need to remove the paste for the purpose of doing wudoo’.


It was narrated from ‘Alqamah that he used to tell his womenfolk to put on henna during their menstrual period.


And it was narrated that ‘Ata’ said: It is mustahabb for a woman to dye her hands with henna when she is menstruating.


See: Musannaf Ibn ‘Ali Shaybah, 1/144


It says in Mawaahib al-Jaleel, 1/200 (which is a Maaliki book): Maalik was asked about a woman who is menstruating or junub using henna on her hands. He said: Yes, that is the time that women used to single out for that purpose, so that the dye would not be need to be removed in order to do wudoo’ for prayers. End quote.


In al-Mawsoo‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah (2/283) it says: The majority of fuqaha’ are of the view that it is permissible for a menstruating women to use henna, because it was narrated that a woman asked ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) about that, saying: Can a menstruating woman dye (her hands) with henna? She said: We were with the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and we used to dye our hands, and he did not tell us not to do that. And because it is narrated that the womenfolk of Ibn ‘Umar used to dye their hands with henna when they were menstruating. Ibn Rushd said: There is no difference of opinion that it is permissible for women who are menstruating or junub to dye their hands with henna, because the colour on the hands that results from it does not impede the removal of janaabah and menses by means of ghusl when she does ghusl. And there is no basis for the view that it is makrooh. End quote.


The hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah mentioned above was narrated by Ibn Maajah (656) and classed as saheeh by al-Busayri in al-Zawaa’id and by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah.


To sum up: there is nothing wrong with applying henna during one’s menses, and what your husband heard is not correct. There is no basis for regarding that as makrooh, let alone haraam.


And Allah knows best.
