Question

 Is it permissible to make ablution while wearing makeup? And what about nail polish?

Answer

It is obligatory to remove any makeup before making ablution if the makeup prevents water from reaching the hair or skin and the same applies to nail polish. If it is not the case that water is prevented from reaching the hair or skin, the makeup does not need to be removed. God the Almighty knows best.
