Nailpolish and salat

Re: Nailpolish and salat

My understanding, can we survive without using nailpolish? Simple answer “Yes” hell ya! who needs nailpolishing while our nails will twinkle on the day of Judgement because we poured ‘wudu’ water at it instead of using nailpolish. I am not saying that use of nailpolish is prohibited or haram. If someone wants to use she may do so.

I wonder was thicky oily metallic paints were available at the time of Prophet hmmmm ‘No’, and any Islamic narration from history which narrated that any Sahabi in war (jihad) was offering namaaz while enemies were busy in killing them. Perhaps all wars wew held before of after namaaz. Will you mind to keep your imagination to yourself as it doesn’t make any sense.

Nowadays there are many liquids which can be used to remove/clean spot of paints and after using such liquids you may further clean your hands with a piece of cloth or water. That can be found in shape (size) of toothpaste easily to keep with you.

My purpose was to point out situations where if one seriously starts thinking that water should reach every relevant part during wadu and if it could not for whatever reasons then one cannot do wadu and without wadu one cannot pray, then such thinking is preposterous. Actually, there are many situations this condition would become impossible, still, for Islam to be practical, wadu with all restrains should be possible, and that happens because Allah is not bothered about such irregularities, rather he sees a person’s intention, so one should do what one can, that is all.

As for removing paints from messy hands, your ignorance shows you never painted wooden (door, windows, etc) or metal stuffs (pipes, metal railings, or metal gates) to believe it is easy to take paints off your hands. Chalo, yesa hee sahi. ‘One French princess once in ignorance said that ‘if people do not have bread then why they do not eat cake’ and started revolution. Uss ko bhie kuch pata hee nahi tha.

As for your statement doubting Sahabis offering namaaz while enemies were busy killing, thinking that all wars were held before or after Namaaz, then that is height of ignorance. Wars do not last few hours a day, even during Prophet (SAW) time, neither adjust time so that it does not coincide with prayer time (as FairysAngel would like to wish).

Actually, there are hadith that tells of Muslims praying during the course of war (people praying in small group while others fighting). What I wrote is that, such situation must have arrived in war when people had to do wadu with clotted blood on hand that they could not remove (for whatever reason), but because Muslims at that time were not fussy as present day ‘so-called guardian of Islam’ would want, they did not even bothered to mention such things taking it as granted, and that is why we do not have something in writing … just like we do not have in writing that Sahabis use to do wadu with cold water, warm water or hot water.

Such silly thoughts can only come in corrupted brain of our ‘so-called present day guardians of Islam’. Who knows, in future we might get fatwa that Muslims can only do wadu with water that is 75 degree Fahrenheit hot plus minus 10 degree, else wadu would become invalid. After that, people would come on forums and would ask if their wadu was valid or invalid because they did wadu with water that was 50 degree Fahrenheit cold.
