LACQUERING NAILS IN ISLAM

There are forbidden processes (for women), which are unfortunately something common today:

-colouring your hair in black

-removing your eyebrows

-tattooing

-wigs

-perfume

-make-up

-lacquering your fingernails

The last 3 are allowed only at home, but the other are totally forbidden.

A women can lacquer her nails, but when she wants to pray she has to completely clean her nails. Like Prophet a.s. says: "A person with no wudu has no salat." We have to be aware of the problem. Even face-cream mustn't be used if the water can't get to your skin.

In case a woman lacquers her nails after making wudu then this colour (on her nails) is like an uncleanliness.

Allah knows best!
