Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

Some women let their nails grow longer than necessary for beauty. Sometimes a nail breaks up, requiring a cover that must be placed over the broken nail. Knowing that such a cover prevents water from reaching the nail in Wudhu and Ghusl, is it permissible to use it? How should Wudhu and Ghusl be performed with that cover?

Answer

Wudhu and Ghusl with such a cover over the nail is not valid; therefore, it is necessary to remove it for Wudhu and Ghusl. And the purpose mentioned above for the cover is not justifiable.
