💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 A sister some time ago asked me to advise some of the sisters out there to ensure they perform wudhu/ablution as perfectly as possible even with a mountain load of make-up on. When washing their faces, some would rub with such sparingly tiny amount of water very lightly as though they're walking on eggshells, afraid their facial work of art may be erased. One's ablution may not be valid if the water didn't properly touch the skin. This is also why nail polish is discouraged when praying as the coating prevents water from reaching the nails.
For Allah's sake perform your wudhu/ablution well in the manner which the noble Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam used to do. You can put on your cosmetics again after you completed the Salah or try to join the minority of women who prefer to go natural without worrying if their make-up is on fleek or not.
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated that Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, my nation will be summoned on the Day of Resurrection as brightly radiant from the traces of ablution. Whoever among you is able to extend his radiance, then let him do so."
(Sahih Muslim 136, Sahih Muslim 246)
