SHAFAQNA – The Grand Ayatollah Makarem answered a question about performing Qosl (ablution) with artificial nails (false nails, nail extensions).
Question: What is the ruling on performing Qosl with nail extensions or false eyelashes?
The Grand Ayatollah Makarem: If there is no necessity for this act, avoid it. And if there is a necessity and it is not possible to separate them at the time of Qosl, perform Qosl in usual/normal manner.
