Question
A female mayyit has nail polish on her nails. Is it permissible to remove the polish with a polish-remover at the time of giving ghusl?
Answer
Nail polish is haraam. Neither wudhu nor ghusl is valid with nail polish on. It is most unfortunate that a woman dies with this haraam substance on her fingers. It should be removed because the ghusl will not be valid while the nail polish remains on the nails.
