Re: Namaaz and Nailpolish
PCG I think Sadiyah had some excellent links. Especially for the people who constantly need a “source” so Sadiyah provided some.
Those who say actions depend on intentions, well ofcourse.
But the most riduculous idea has got to be that we can do as we please, just as long as we have the right intentions. That we can make life easier, and why not skip with Wudu altogether if theres no water nearby.
Come on folks. God gave us all a brain, it wont kill anyone to use it once in awhile.
Nail polish does have alocohol in it. And a person in order to do Wudu must remove the nailpolish.
Dont make up your own rules. If you wish to follow the religion, do so according to how it has been revealed to mankind.
We have very important rules when it comes to Wudu and Salah. And if you folks are ignorant about such, go out and do some research.
And honestly the worst argument has got to be “I wear nailpolish and pray so you can too” . I mean thats great for laughs mayhap , mind you I am not the one laughing. But lets get serious.
If you want to pray while wearing make up or nailpolish, by all means be my very special guest. But dont go around saying Islam allowes it. Just admit you dont wish to follow so and so rules set by Islam. Dont try to justify your actions, by distorting the religion itself. Thats crossing the limits, just a tad bit. 
We dont change the religion to suit us, I do believe its about changing ourselves and our actions to follow the faith.
