Question<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was painting my house and some paint came on my hands and feet I removed them but still, some were left on my feet. I tried scrubbing but it would not come off. Will my wudhu be valid?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One fundamental condition for the validity of wudhu is that the water should reach the entire surface of whichever limb is being washed[1]<\/a>. Thus, any substance which hinders the water from reaching the skin should be removed.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If it is extremely difficult to remove, for example, the paint can only be removed with a knife [by scraping it off] or any other similar instrument, then because of the difficulty in this, it will not be an obstacle to wudu and ghusl.[2]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
