I know you are not allowed to pray while wearing nailpolish, but...?

Question

what if you do wudu, before you put on the nailpolish?

technically even after u lose wudu, your nails are still clean cuz they are covered.

Answer 1

sorry it doesn't work that way, plus we shouldn't have long nails either  

Answer 2

well u missed a point.

you mentioned the nails are clean because you washed them before sealing, does that mean you make wudu because your hands, arms, feet, face, mouth, and nose becomes dirty by that which breaks the wudu?

we dont make wudu because our skin has gotten dirty, and just like that, wudu doesn't break because our skin got dirty, rather sleeping, using the washroom etc. breaks the wudu, and just like that, we MUST wet every part of what is prescribed in making wudu for it to be complete.

This is the way taught to us by Allah through our prophet and his sunnah.  And the purpose is not the cleanliness of the body parts, eventhough the result is such.

I hope this answers your curious question inshallah =)

assalaamu aleikum

Answer 3

LOLZ!! I said the EXACT SAME THING to my mom. She said this to me 'wudu is not just about outer cleanliness, it is an inward cleanliness. If your wudu breaks, then even if you have nail polish on, your nails will not be clean (because wudu is having your spirit clean as well)'

Answer 4

... I know you also can't legally let a chicken cross the road after 8Pm in some states....

Answer 5

You can do wudhu before applying your nailpolish and then pray.

BUT

If you break your wudhu by passing wind for example you cannot pray.

Simple as..

Have a nice day <3
