Will my wudhu be valid if I have mehendi on my nails?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

If the nail mehendi merely colours the nail like normal mehendi and it does not create a surface above the nail, then it is permissible to use such mehendi. Wudhu and ghusl with such mehendi will be valid.

If the nail mehendi creates a surface above the nail and the mehendi is impermeable, wudhu and ghusl with such mehendi will not be valid. [1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
