Is the husband's insistence that his wife wear nail polish, which prevents the ablution from being complete, under the pretext of his right to be obeyed, considered a forbidden act?

There is no impediment to applying nail polish, and it is emphasized if the husband requests it. However, it must be removed before performing ablution (wudu) or ritual bathing () for the purification to be valid. It is not permissible to obey the husband in not removing it, because there is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator.
