Question
Hello and blessings! I have an unusual and small nail, am I allowed to add to the nail (meaning to glue a new and longer nail onto it)? Is this considered a barrier? Of course, this is only for adornment.
Answer
Hello
It is permitted to glue.
And retrospectively, one may be lenient in this case, as the nail does not constitute a barrier during immersion.
