If it becomes clear to a person after prayer that a part of his ablution was not reached by water

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And in his second question, he says: If it becomes clear to the one who performed ablution after prayer that his ablution was not complete because water did not reach part of one of the limbs, does he wash that limb only, or does he repeat the ablution from the beginning?

Answer:
If he is certain that water did not reach one of his limbs, or did not reach it completely, and something remained on it that water did not flow over, then he must repeat the ablution in full and repeat the prayer. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man with a spot on his foot, meaning a white area that water had not reached
So he said to him: Go back and perfect your ablutionفقال له ارجع فاحسن وضوءك
. He ordered him to perfect his ablution in full.
Also, the continuity, which is one of the conditions for the validity of ablution and one of its obligatory requirements, is the continuity between the washing of the limbs. This continuity was broken, and a long time elapsed, so he must repeat the ablution from the beginning. And he must repeat the prayer he performed with this incomplete ablution. Yes.
