Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman had nail polish on her nails and did not remove it. She performed ghusl from her menstruation and then removed the nail polish after the ghusl. Is her ghusl valid, and what is the ruling on the prayers she performed in this manner, if the nail polish prevents water from reaching what is underneath it?
Answer:
The purification is not valid. She must purify herself, remove the nail polish, purify herself again, and repeat the prayer, because part of her body remained that the water of purification did not reach. Yes.
