Can you please give your view on halal nail polish?
So a couple of things you need to verify with the company itself. Number one, does it permit 100% meaning does it completely permit the nail? That's number one. And number two, how long does it take for the water to permeate that nail? If it takes, for example, hours, then wudu would not be valid. Why? Because wudu has to have an element of continuity there. You can't, for example, wash your face and then come back a few hours and wash your feet later. The same for when we're washing our arms, and that includes washing from your fingertip up to and including your elbow. The nail is part of that. So water needs to 100% touch that nail, and it can't be that it permeates for one part and then it takes, you know, a few hours to permeate all throughout the nail. So those are the two things that you need to verify specifically when you buy any nail polish at the moment.
