Question

I've been reading about the impermissibility of so-called breathable nail polish, where tests of the Inglot breathable nail enamel in particular is said to not be suitable as it nullifies the conditions of wudu.

What about the "Tuesday in Love" brand, which is marketed as water permeable? I've seen some tests on You Tube and other sites (e.g. http://hautemuslimah.com/2013/04/the-water-permeable-nail-polish-test.html) where they claim the Tuesday in Love brand allows the water to seep right through.

Kindly advise on whether it would therefore be advisable for me to wear the Tuesday in Love nail enamel?

Jazak'Allah in advance for your guidance on this matter.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
