## Question

After doing wudu and Isha Salah I have seen traces of lipstick on my nail(inside and outside). when I poured water on it ,it got washed off.should I redo wudu and repeat prayer?

## Answer / Fatwa Ruling

If you saw traces of lipstick on your nails after performing namaz and you know that this lipstick were in your hand before your ablution then you should remove the lipstick from your nails and repeat ablution and namaz again ; because the lipstick contain waxes that prevent water.
