The Ritual Bath of Jumu’ah, Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquette, and Teachings on Cleanliness and Beautification
وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تُعَطِّلَ نَفْسَهَا وَ لَوْ أَنْ تُعَلِّقَ فِي عُنُقِهَا قِلاَدَةً وَ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لَهَا أَنْ تَدَعَ يَدَهَا مِنَ اَلْخِضَابِ وَ لَوْ أَنْ تَمْسَحَهَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ مَسْحاً وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ مُسِنَّةً.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "A woman should not neglect herself, even if it means wearing a necklace around her neck, Nor should She leave her hands without dyeing, even if it is by lightly applying henna, even if She is elderly."
