[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am looking for a progressive masjid, not so progressive that they have women leading salah. 
But one where the [b]aunties won't harass me for wearing nail polish in the prayer hall.

You do know that the prohibition on nail polish is because the water creates a barrier to performing wudoo. [/quote]

Wudoo is such a weird, irrational thing. Going to the bathroom and farting break your wudoo, but none of the traditional ablutions have anything to do with your butt. I guess one could say "to make sure your hands are clean," but one should be doing that anyway after going to the bathroom.

So the idea of nail polish creating a barrier to performing wudoo is ridiculous. But I think most religion (Islam and other religions) are more about the ritual, than the rational. [/quote]

Uhm that is, because us Muslims do clean our butt whenever we go to the bathroom with WATER,  so no need to clean the butt while doing wudu and  your point is?  :roll: [/quote]

Question - when you are out and about, do you carry bottled water with you to use after going to the bathroom?  I've studied Islam, and know you are supposed to use water, but I've always wondered this.  Does it HAVE to be water?  Could you use those toilet paper wet wipes instead?[/quote]
