Does henna tattooing on women's hands and feet attract jinn and cause them to enter the human body?

It is recommended for women to dye their hands and feet with henna, and there are hadiths to that effect. Some of these indicate the desirability of women changing their appearance with henna, while other hadiths condemn men doing so, considering it an imitation of women. There is no evidence, however, that dyeing with henna or the resulting patterns are a cause for the presence of jinn or their entering the human body; otherwise, Islamic law would not have permitted it.
