Finding nail polish on one's nails after taking fardh ghusal

Q: I took a bath after haidh forgetting that there is nail paint on my one nail. What should I do now? Can I peform wudu or should I take a bath again although my hair is wet?

A: If the nail polish is non-porous, then your ghusal is not valid as a portion of your body is not washed. In order for your ghusal to be complete, you should just remove the nail polish and wash that area. You will not have to repeat the entire ghusal.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
