Applying Henna Before Ablution

Question
Is applying henna on the nails required to be wiped off during ablution for prayer, similar to nail polish?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is not necessary to wipe off the henna when performing ablution; because it does not form a barrier that prevents water from reaching the skin like nail polish does, and God knows best.
