Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee referred to laboratory tests on Breathable Nail Enamel Vernis A Ongles Inglot 02M, which carries a halal mark. The tests found that this nail polish does not absorb even a drop of water, so it does not let ablution water reach the nail. To ensure that ablution is valid, the use of this type of nail polish should be avoided.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, bagi memastikan wuduk seseorang itu sah, maka penggunaan pengilat / pewarna kuku jenis diatas hendaklah di hindarkan.
