Wudu' with Nail Polish
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: It has become widespread among some women that they apply nail polish, and one of them may perform wudu' while the polish is on her nails. Is that permissible, and is the wudu' valid?
Answer:
If this polish hardens and prevents water from reaching the nail, then her wudu' is not valid, because water did not reach some of her limbs. However, if this polish is merely a dye, like henna, and does not prevent water from reaching the nail, then there is no harm.
