Ruling on the purity of a woman if there is polish on her nails
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This, O Shaykh, is a message we received from a listener or student: (Nur al-Huda, A. A.) from Sudan. She says: What is the ruling on painting the nails and praying with them?
Answer: If her polish is with henna or something similar that does not prevent water from reaching the nail, there is no harm. However, if her polish is with something that prevents water from reaching the nail, it must be removed at the time of ablution. The polish is removed and she performs ablution, or she performs the full ritual bath from major ritual impurity. Then, if she applies it again and removes it at the time of ablution, there is no harm. As for polish that does not prevent water, such as polish with henna, there is no harm in it and no blame on her at all. Yes.
The presenter: But regarding the woman who paints her nails with something that prevents ablution, but she washes it off at every ablution?
The Shaykh: If she washes it off, there is no harm. If she removes it at the time of ablution and the full ritual bath from major ritual impurity, there is no harm. And also for washing during menstruation. Yes.
