Using nail polish during haidh

· 29 Rajab 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Can girls put nail polish when they are having periods? I have heard that girls cannot put nail polish even in periods because if they die while having nail polish it cannot be removed once a person dies, so their namaaz-e-janaaza cannot be performed. Is it true?

Answer

If it is porous, and there is nothing impure in it and nor does it resemble the ways of the kuffaar, then it will be permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
