Re: Namaaz and Nailpolish
MQ: The rule is stupid because there are different reasons for it, and no one has a concerete answer. I'd like you to do some additional research and find out the history behind the rule- i.e. who declared the first fatwa on it and when?
And honestly, if you are so concerned about every inch of your skin being covered with water when doing wudu, I ask you to respond to my concerns and tell me why aren't people teaching kids to do wuzu by completely covering their arms and necks, etc with water?
NO ONE emphasizes that water should cover every inch of your skin when you do wuzu. NO ONE. I can guarantee you that - just step foot in your local Islamic school and watch as they teach kids how to do wuzu. Our desis in particular.
After all this, you think I'm gonna listen to someone if they're freaking out about some pain on the nails?
Like I said, the purpose of wuzu is to be clean. You can do all the wuzu you want, but if you've got ghand in your mind, then forget it.
And PRACTICALLY speaking, most desis when offering prayers, really do have ghand on their minds.
