Ruling on Removing Nail Polish During Ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there sin in a woman using nail polish to paint her nails? And what should she do during ablution?
Answer:
We know of nothing regarding this, but leaving it is preferable due to the lack of need for it, and because it prevents water from reaching the skin during ablution. The outcome is that leaving it is preferable, and contenting oneself with henna, which is what the early generations did, is preferable. If she uses it, it is obligatory for her to remove it during ablution; because, as we said, it prevents water from reaching the skin. And success is from Allah.
