The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The sender, Umm Abdullah from Riyadh, sent a number of questions. In the first one, she says: A woman removed nail polish from her fingernails, and after performing the prayer, she discovered that a small part of it that she had not seen remained on her fingernail. What is required of her?
The Shaykh:
If it is a small amount, it does not invalidate what has passed, but she should remove it for the future. However, if it is a large amount that covered part of the back of her hand, she must remove it, renew her ablution, and repeat the prayer, because a part of her body remained that the water did not reach. Yes.
The questioner:
What is the measure of the small amount and the large amount?
The Shaykh:
This is known by custom. This is known by custom. Yes.
