Question

Can a woman put nail polish and perform prayers or enter masjid?

Answer


There is nothing wrong with putting nail polish after ablution and pray with it but once the ablution is broken legally speaking the women is not able to perform ablution until she erases the nail polish first. The reason behind erasing nail polish before ablution is that the nail polish forms a layer which prevents water from reaching the nails.
