Instant mehendi
Question
Nowadays instant mehendis are available in the market. Is applying it also sunnat and can one offer namaz with these kinds of mehendi which are made up of chemicals?
Answer
If it is porous and there is nothing impure that is used in it, then it is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
