What is Halal?
Halal is an Arabic word. The term means lawful or permitted. To add on, the term Halal is commonly used to label food, meat, personal care products, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
If something is to be considered halal, it should be :
1. Free from components prohibited by Islamic law (Shariah)
2. Cleansed following Islamic law.
What Makes a Nail Polish Halal?
Halal nail polish is simply breathable nail polish. It is when water can go through the nail polish and reach the nailbed. Adding on, Halal nail polishes are commonly designed using the same technology as contact lenses. It enables oxygen and hydration to pass through. Plus, it is Infused with essential oils, Halal nail polishes promote healthier nails.
Why Halal Nail Polish?
Muslim women are only allowed to use halal nail polish. It is because there are some ingredients in normal nail polishes that are infused with alcohol and are derived from animals. Additionally, another reason is that most nail polishes are not breathable and do not let water or air go through.
Why do you ask? According to the Muslim faith, the entire body, including the nails, should be cleansed before performing their 5 prayers daily. This practice of washing themselves before prayer is called performing “Wudu”. Therefore, if a woman is using normal nail polish, she needs to remove it completely.
