Question:
He says: I work in painting jobs, and when the time for prayer comes, some paint remains on my hand. I perform wudu and pray. Is my prayer valid?
Answer:
It is obligatory to remove the paint because it prevents water from reaching the skin. The paint, which is the varnish, hardens and prevents water from reaching the skin, so it must be removed. Or you put something on your hand when working; you put something on your hand that prevents the paint from sticking to the hand. You put something on your hand. Because you are preparing for prayer and wudu, you are like others who do not pray, so it is obligatory for you, and if something sticks to your hand, it is obligatory to remove it. There are things that remove the varnish; there are things, meaning you know them, that remove the varnish, yes.
