The ruling on using nail polish, and whether it is obligatory to remove it when performing ablution?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: S. S. - from al-Jawf - says in her question: Is there sin in a woman using nail polish that is applied to the nails? And what should she do when performing ablution?
A: We do not know of anything regarding this, but leaving it is better; because there is no need for it, and because it may prevent water from reaching the skin when performing ablution.
The conclusion is: that leaving it is better, and contenting oneself with henna, which is what the early generations did, is better. If the woman uses it, it is obligatory for her to remove it when performing ablution; because -as we said- it prevents water from reaching the skin, and success is from Allah.
