A breathable halal nail polish
created as a less harmful alternative to regular nail varnish has become a
surprise hit among Muslim women. The polish looks trendy & making it
interesting to Muslim women. It is said to be halal & provides no obstacle
for women who want to complete their wudu (ablution) before the daily prayers.
Nail polish is considered contradictory
with wuhu because of the physical layer it creates over the nails. This stops
water from cleansing the nails which is a pre requirement for wudu. Thus, a
woman would have removed her nail polish every time she needs to renew her wudu
which may mean removing & re-varnishing several times a day. For this
reason, some women put nail polish on after finishing the last prayer of the
day before going out & then take it off again before next prayers. Others
simply refuse to go through the trouble of getting a manicure that will not
last long.
Inglot – a renowned cosmetic
company claims that it manufactured the world’s first wudu-friendly halal nail
polish. As nail polish is relatively
modern creation, it remains obviously unaddressed by early Islamic think tank.
But the general consensus in the Islamic community is that praying with nail
polish is impermissible because of the waterproof barrier it creates on nails
& prevents the wudu ritual from being completed five times a day.
Inglot’s Breathable halal nail polish
line, similar to breathable contact lenses, is prepared by a breathable polymer
that allows oxygen & water vapour to leak through to the talons. Inglot’s
tapping into the market of halal nail polish is something of a
goldmine – no doubt, a strategic, lucrative move. Frankly, every muslim woman
thinks that the discovering of 02M Breathable polishes constitutes the entire
sum of their current happiness.
