Does Vaseline and ointments prevent water from reaching the skin during wudu'?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Do Vaseline and ointments prevent water from reaching the skin during wudu' for prayer?

Answer:
No, what does not solidify on the skin is not a problem; mere oil does not prevent it, the water runs over the skin.
