Ghusl and Nail Polish
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The television is a bit short. The television. Because there is a sound. She performed ghusl for major ritual impurity, and she had nail polish on her nails which she did not remove. She performed ghusl while it was on her nails, and when she later wanted to pray, she was asked about this polish. Is this sufficient for her? Does it count? Is her prayer valid or not?
The Shaykh:
If she prayed with wudu' and the polish was on her, she must repeat the prayer because the water did not reach the nails; rather, the solid barrier prevented it. If she removes it in the future, her prayer is valid, and praise be to Allah for the removal of the barrier. Yes.
The questioner:
And without repeating the ghusl.
The Shaykh:
If it has dried and become dry, she repeats the ghusl. But if it is still wet from the ghusl and she removes this barrier, she washes the nail, and this is sufficient.
The presenter:
Okay, thank you.
