Is a woman sinful for using nail polish, and what should she do when performing wudu?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no religious text that prohibits the use of nail polish, but it is better to avoid it due to lack of necessity and because it may prevent water from reaching the skin during ablution (Wudu'). If it is used, it must be removed for ablution.
