Is it permissible to apply nail polish?

Yes, nail polish can be applied under certain conditions:

  1. Requirement of Ablution (Wudu) and Ghusl:
    • For valid ablution, water must reach the nails. Most nail polishes form a barrier, preventing water from passing through.
    • Those wearing nail polish must remove it each time before wudu or ghusl.
  2. Permeable Alternatives:
    • If nail polish that allows water to penetrate (similar to henna) is developed, it can be worn without restrictions.
  3. Children:
    • Young girls not obligated to pray or perform ghusl may use nail polish freely. However, it’s essential to teach them moderation as they grow.

Conclusion:
Nail polish is not inherently prohibited, but its permissibility depends on its composition and the requirements of purification in Islamic practices.
