nails?

[islamic_sister]

Hello,

does anyone know the rules on nail polish? i have been told that it is haram because you cannot pray when you are wearing it. is this true? also has anyone heard of gel nails? its a fake nail that is placed in a salon and it doesnt come off for months..is this haram?

thank you :D

[Umu 'Isa]

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

Nail polish isn't haram although you need to remove it before each prayer so you can make wudu. Because the nail polish coats over the nail it is impossible for the water to reach the nail of the hand therefore the wudhu would not be accepted.

The same thing would be for gel/acrylic nails aswell, although you can't really take it off before every prayer so it would be considered haram because your wudhu would not be accepted and your prayers wouldnt be either.

Here is another view on fake nails http://www.islamqa.com/index.php?ref...=eng&txt=nails

Thanks but someone told me that what some people do is leave little gaps at the back of the nail (where the cuticle is)..so tht water can touch..?

:sl:

water needs to touch the actual nails, leaving gaps doesnt acheive anything because the nail is still coated. how do they leave gaps though, they must be experts at applying it all neatly :hiding:

For the water having to touch the nails? Rahmah posted a fatwa from islamqa.com above about it.

Assalamualaykum

Nail polish isn't haram but I wouldn't recommend it becasue unless you have nailremover it can be very hard to take off as you have to remove it for Salah and really is there any point? Our nails are already pink thanks to the flesh lol. Sorry not a big fan of makeup.

Assalamualaykum
