Q: My husband really likes red nail polish on my hands and feet, but I also want to pray properly. I have to remove my nail polish every time I make wudu, which is becoming very difficult. 

I’ve heard about halal/water-permeable nail polish. After making wudu, if I apply it, can I pray with it, or does it still need to be removed before every wudu? Or can I put it on after shower or wudhu and keep it on till next shower? 

Please guide me, as I’m very confused and no one has been able to give me a clear answer. 

Q: I came across a Hadith below showing that one should perform two rakaat salaah when entering one's home and when leaving one's home. Is the hadith authentic and can one practice upon it? 

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: 

“When you intend to leave your house you should offer two rak’ahs of [nafl]. These rak’ahs will protect you from an evil exit [harm] and when you enter your home you should offer two rak’ahs they will safeguard you from harm.” 

(Musnad Bazzar, Hadith: 8567)

Q: I am using a credit card for which the monthly bill is issued on the 1st of every month.

Q: My friend asked me for a loan of R10 000. He said that he will pay me back the R10 000 after a week. There is no extra amount that I asked him to pay over and above the R10 000. However, since he asked me to eft the amount to him through which my bank will charge me R7, I asked him to pay my bank charges i.e. to pay the R7 which my bank will be charging me to do the eft. Is it permissible for me to take the R7 from him for the eft charge?
