Applying henna

Q: Are women allowed henna for all occasions? As I've seen in weddings, gatherings or "just because" nowadays women apply it. Is it allowed?

A: She should beautify herself for her husband and the beauty is not supposed to be expressed outside the home.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
