I disagree with their opinion because, according to the Qurʾān, Allah (SWT) has instructed us to perform ablution by washing our hands, face, and feet. In Arabic, the term for washing is \\\"ghusl,\\\" legally defined as the flowing of water over the limb. It's important to note that in the same verse, Allah instructs us to wipe our heads instead of washing them. The Arabic term for wiping is \\\"masaḥ,\\\" defined as applying water moisture to a limb. The verse makes it clear that there is a difference between washing and merely applying moisture, and one cannot substitute the other. The problem with this nail polish is that it hinders the washing process, even if it allows moisture to permeate. Therefore, it does not meet the legal definition of ghusl as prescribed in the Qurʾān.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe40b76658b4c232837","tag":"Tahara: Wudu","count":117},{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327ba","tag":"Women: Beauty","count":54},{"_id":"668d9fe40b76658b4c23283d","tag":"Nail Polish","count":3}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:57.495Z"}
