Maryam Kadhim asked 9 months ago

Question: Nowadays many many Muslim women wear fake nails or nail polish during their period when they cant pray. I understand that it is considered zeena because it makes the hand appear more attractive but hasn’t it now become urf since so many women do it? Just like rings could be considered zeena since it makes the hand more attractive, but its allowed because it is now urf

As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
We hope this answer finds you in high Islamic spirit.
Since it is difficult to determine whether it falls under ‘urf or not, it is better to avoid it as a precaution.
