Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman who says that she was unaware that the nail polish applied to the nails prevents water from reaching the skin. She performed wudu with the nail polish on her fingers or nails for a long period without removing it. What is the ruling in her case?
Answer:
If the period was long and it is difficult for her to repeat the prayers, she should remove it immediately and ensure it is removed in the future. May Allah accept our repentance and hers. Yes. As for if the times were few and she is able to repeat them, she should repeat them. Yes.
