اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ مُعَاذَةَ ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلَتْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : تَخْتَضِبُ الْحَائِضُ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : " قَدْ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نَخْتَضِبُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَنْهَانَا عَنْهُ " .
´It was narrated from Mu'adh that:` A woman asked 'Aishah: "Can a woman who is menstruating, dye her hands?" She said: "We were with the Prophet and we used to dye our hands, and he did not tell us not to do that."

Commentary:
(1)
The fact that there was no prohibition indicates that this is permissible.
When an action is performed in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and he does not prohibit it, this establishes the permissibility of that action.
A hadith in which such an incident is mentioned is called a tacit approval (taqreer) hadith.
(2)
Khidab refers to anything that is applied to the hands, etc., or to the hair of the head, and as a result, the color of the hands or hair changes.
Henna (mehndi) is also a form of khidab.
(3)
Applying henna is permissible during the days of purity (tuhr), and likewise, it is also permissible during the days of menstruation (hayd).
