Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some sisters say, the questioner, Umm Abdullah, asks: What is the ruling on wudu' if a woman has what is called nail polish on her nails?
Answer:
Wudu' is not valid with nail polish, because nail polish covers what is underneath it, and the water does not reach what is underneath it. Consequently, part of the limb remains unwashed. Therefore, it is necessary to remove it so that the water reaches all the limbs, and nothing remains uncovered. Yes.
