Wudu' with Vaseline on the Skin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a person applies what is called Vaseline cream and wants to perform wudu', is he required to remove it before his wudu'?
The Shaykh:
No, oils do not prevent water from reaching the skin. Does the water flow over the skin?
The questioner:
Waleed.
The Shaykh:
It does not have a thickness that prevents the water, yes. All oils do not prevent the water, yes.
