The ruling on applying nail polish to the nails and blood that comes out other than menstruation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Or does it not pass through two states, such as the period between menstrual cycles or post-natal bleeding? As for the period in which she prays and performs ablution, it is not permissible for her to apply nail polish to her nails because it prevents water from reaching them. If a woman is afflicted with irregular bleeding for some reason, does she have to perform the prayer, or is she excused from it?
Answer:
Yes, the woman prays if she is afflicted with irregular bleeding. Irregular bleeding does not prevent prayer; what prevents prayer is menstruation and post-natal bleeding. As for irregular bleeding, it is blood from a vessel, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, and it does not prevent prayer or fasting. However, she must perform ablution for every prayer because its discharge invalidates the ablution. She must perform ablution for every prayer and place something on the source of the discharge to stop what is coming out, such as cotton or anything else that prevents the discharge. Then she performs ablution and prays. May Allah reward you with good.
