Removing nail polish before making wudoo’
Question: 640
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If the nail polish forms an impermeable layer that prevents water from reaching the surface of the nail, her wudoo’ is not valid unless she first removes it. If she wears something like henna that does not create an impermeable layer, then her wudoo’ is valid.
