Is it permissible to use the nail whitener pencil?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Ustadha Hedaya Hartford, SunniPath Academy Teacher

Is it permissible to use a nail whitener pencil on the inside bit of the nail to make the tips of the nails look whiter?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

It seems as if most pencil whiteners leave a barrier such that one”s ablution is not valid if made after using it.

Note that it is reprehensible to let the nails grow long (Al-Durr al-Mukhtar 5:260) even if it is done for one”s husband.

And Allah Most High knows best.
