One of the beauty trends of women is nail art. Usually, nail polish used for nail art makes Muslim women confused because most of the nail polish can not penetrate the nail causing wudu's is not valid. But one of the conditions of validity of wudu' is that there is nothing to prevent water flowing from the limbs that must be washed when wudu'.
There has been nail polish allowed by the Rasulullah, namely henna plant known by the Latin name Lawsonia inermis. However, the resulting colour does not vary, only red colour. In addition, the colour lasts only 2 weeks, after which the colour begins to fade. It is different from nail polish that has a variety of colours.
Usually, Muslim women use nail polish only they get the periods. The development of the times, now there is an innovation of nail polish that is believed to be breathable, and water can penetrate to the surface of the nail and make from materials that are not harmful to health, so this becomes a solution for Muslim women who want to still look beautiful but do not violate Shariah.
Now, Indonesia has come in a variety of halal nail polish, although it can only be imported from abroad at an expensive price and newly accessed in the online market.
However, here there are pros and cons related to some brands of nail polish that are claimed and breathable and high-water absorption so that it can be called wudu' friendly. Because there are nail polish brands that conduct experiments on how quickly the brand can absorb water.
From the experiment it is known that the time it takes for the water to be fully absorbed is about 15-30 seconds, it must also be rubbed and with a thin layer. Now, the question arises, are we going to take that a long time to make fingernails one by one watered when wudu'?
In conclusion, we return to everyone's beliefs. Do you want to use artificial nail polish when you get the periods only or not?
