The Ritual Bath of Jumu’ah, Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquette, and Teachings on Cleanliness and Beautification
وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «مَنِ اِطَّلَى وَ اِخْتَضَبَ بِالْحِنَّاءِ آمَنَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ ثَلاَثِ خِصَالٍ اَلْجُذَامِ وَ اَلْبَرَصِ وَ اَلْآكِلَةِ إِلَى طَلْيَةٍ مِثْلِهَا.
The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: "Whoever applies depilatory substances (to remove body hair) and dyes with henna, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Most High, protects him from three things: leprosy, vitiligo (a skin disorder), and ‘al-ākilah’ (a type of skin disease or severe wound infection) until the next time he applies it."
