just saw a muslim girl tiktoker say, nail polish is allowed and doesnt invalidate whudu bc the khuf is the same thing; something over the actual limb but wiping over it is sufficient for whudus validity. she also said, that it disadvantages women because men can leave the foot unwashed while women cant leave their hands unwashed.
and my argument is, its not abt whudu, its abt ghusl of the mayyit; ghusl isnt valid unless water touches the body, khuf is easily removable (just a zip) while polish isnt (polish remover and scraping), harm and aggression cant be done to the body. and we can die at any time so theres no predicting when thatll happen so rather dont do nail polish for the sake of those who'll bathe ur body for the last time. return to ur Lord the same way He made u: clean and pure; u were not made with polish on ur nails 🩷
this is a lesson for me first, and by no means am i criticising or insulting any scholar or religious opinion. im merely giving my own view and take on the matter 💅
