باب في الْمَرْأَةِ الْحَائِضِ تَخْتَضِبُ وَالْمَرْأَةِ تُصَلِّي في الْخِضَابِ:Chapter: Menstruating Woman Using Henna and Woman Praying with Henna
Hadith 1131
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: "كُنَّ نِسَاؤُنَا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ، اخْتَضَبْنَ، فَإِذَا أَصْبَحْنَ أَطْلَقْنَهُ وَتَوَضَّأْنَ وَصَلَّيْنَ، وَإِذَا صَلَّيْنَ الظُّهْرَ اخْتَضَبْنَ، فَإِذَا أَرَدْنَ أَنْ يُصَلِّينَ الْعَصْرَ، أَطْلَقْنَهُ فَأَحْسَنَّ خِضَابَهُ وَلَا يَحْبِسْنَ عَنْ الصَّلَاةِ".
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Our women used to apply dye after the ‘Isha prayer, and when morning came, they would untie it, perform ablution, and offer prayer. After performing the Zuhr prayer, they would tie it again, and when it was time for the ‘Asr prayer, they would untie it. This would give a better color, and they would not miss the prayer because of the dye (or henna).
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 1128 to 1131)
From all these narrations, it becomes clear that a menstruating woman may apply dye (khidab), and if any ordinary woman has applied henna or dye and the time for prayer arrives, she may wash it off, perform ablution (wudu), and then offer the prayer.
However, what appears to be correct is that she should perform ablution (wudu) before applying the dye, and then, after applying the dye, she may perform the prayer; this is preferable.
And Allah knows best.
