Imam Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I have seen the women of Madinah performing prayer with henna applied.

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was asked about a woman who wipes (performs masah) over hands dyed with henna. She replied: I would prefer that my hands be cut with knives rather than do that.

It is narrated from Abu Sa'id (Kathir bin Ubaid) that a woman asked Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): Can a woman pray after applying dye? She replied: Scrape it off (remove it) and throw it away. Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Abu Sa'id is the son of Abu Al-Anbas, and Abu Al-Anbas's name is Sa'id bin Kathir bin Ubaid.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Our women used to apply henna at night, and when morning came, they would remove it, perform ablution, and offer prayer. After the prayer, they would apply the dye again, and if the time for Zuhr arrived, they would remove it again, perform ablution, and offer prayer. In this way, the color would set very well, and this did not prevent them from performing prayer.

It is narrated from Nafi‘ (may Allah have mercy on him) that the women of Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to apply dye (henna) during their menstrual periods.

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).
