What is halal nail polish?

Halal nail polish is nail polish formulated according to Islamic guidelines, without haram ingredients, and developed with the idea that Muslims can wear it without qualms, often in combination with water and oxygen permeability.

Is halal nail polish allowed?

In principle, nail polish is not automatically haram, but the problem lies with wudu and prayer: water must be able to reach the nail.

Where to buy halal nail polish?

1. Can you perform wudu and pray with halal nail polish?
Opinions differ on this: some scholars believe that breathable/halal nail polish can make wudu valid if water actually reaches the nail, others remain cautious and recommend avoiding nail polish during wudu.
Since it is a matter of fiqh, it is wise to adhere to the opinion of the school or imam you follow.

2. How do I know if a nail polish is really water-permeable?
Brands sometimes have lab tests done to demonstrate water permeability, but these tests are not always public or standardized.
If you want to be sure, you can look for independent testing, serious certification, and seek advice from someone with both religious knowledge and a chemical/technical background.

3. Is it better to wear nail polish only outside of prayer times?
Many Muslims choose the practical middle path: wearing normal nail polish outside the times when they need to perform wudu, and removing it before prayer.
Others consciously choose halal/breathable nail polish to avoid this problem; your choice depends on your personal beliefs and the advice you follow.
