Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Sometimes a man prays next to me with what is called "al-bawiyyah" on his fingers. Is it obligatory for me to advise him and explain to him that he must remove these substances?
Answer:
Without a doubt, this prevents the water. "Al-bawiyyah" prevents the water. So you must advise him, and he must remove it, perform wudu', and let the water reach the nails.
