The answer

There is a difference of opinion among jurists regarding the ruling on a slight barrier. Ibn Taymiyyah held the view that the presence of a slight coating does not harm, especially if its removal is difficult. One must strive to remove it as much as possible, and Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. It appears that a woman is not obligated to refrain from using this coating for adornment for her husband, as there is hardship and difficulty in abstaining from it.
