The ruling on kohl applied under the eyelashes

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. We move on to other issues through other messages or from a subsequent message. It is a message from one of our sisters from Abha. The questioner says: Is liquid kohl a barrier to water reaching the skin if it is applied under the eyelashes, given that it is not placed inside the eye and does not have an apparent effect? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is a distinction regarding liquid kohl. If it does not solidify on what it is applied to, it does not cause harm, provided it is merely a color and does not form a solid mass on the eyelashes of the eye.
What is around the eye does not cause harm, because it is like the color of the finger or the color of henna, which does not cause harm. However, if it has a substance that solidifies on what it is applied to, it prevents water from reaching what is underneath it. Consequently, the wudu' is not completed, because the wudu' must cover everything that Allah the Exalted has commanded to be washed or wiped, as Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has commanded.
So if there is something on some of the limbs, on the eyes or elsewhere, that has solidified and formed a substance that prevents water from reaching what is underneath it, it is obligatory to remove it, and the wudu' is not valid with it present. For this reason, the jurists say that one of the conditions for the validity of wudu' is the removal of anything that prevents water from reaching the skin. Yes.
