Background and Aim: Currently, nail planting has become a large and popular industry among communities; but there are many uncertainties regarding its ruling, which requires a comprehensive study from different aspects. The effect of nail planting on the conditions of purity, especially in the field of creating an obstacle for water to penetrate into the members of ablution, is among the important issues investigated. So the question of this research is that considering the fact that nail planting is an obstacle for purity, what ruling has been established for this act? In other words, what is the ruling on voluntary disable for ablution? This article aims to answer the above question. One of the disputed issues in the jurisprudence of different religions is to voluntary disable for ablution, which induction and evaluation of the pros and cons’ reasons can provide the basis for understanding the ruling on nails planting. Materials and Methods: The present research, using a descriptive-analytical method of content analysis, tries to analyze the views of Islamic jurists regarding the permissibility or impermissibility of voluntary disable for ablution in order to clarify the ruling of nail planting in the light of it. Conclusion: Ablution is considered as one of the conditions for prayer and people should not deliberately and voluntarily put themselves in a situation where they are unable to perform ablution. In this regard, artificial nails disturb the validity of ablution, because it creates an obstacle for water penetrate into the members of ablution and since ablution is prerequisite for prayer and there is a necessary connection between the prerequisite and the consequent, as a result, nail planting is absolutely forbidden (before or after entering the time of prayer).
