5093. Karîmah said: "I heard a woman asking 'Aîshah about dyeing the hair with Henna. She said: "There is nothing wrong with it, but I do not like to do it because my beloved – meaning the Prophet ﷺ – disliked its smell." (Da’if)

Arabic text

5090 - أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زَيْدٍ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ كَرِيمَةَ قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ سَأَلَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ عَنِ الْخِضَابِ بِالْحِنَّاءِ، قَالَتْ: «لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ، وَلَكِنْ أَكْرَهُ هَذَا، لِأَنَّ حِبِّي صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ رِيحَهُ - تَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -»

Commentary

It seems the question was pertaining to using it in the hair otherwise applying Henna to the hands is commendable for a woman.
