The ruling on performing wudu' over skin coated with Vaseline or oils

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, do Vaseline and oils prevent water from reaching the skin during wudu'?

Answer:
No, they do not prevent it. Only a substance that has a solid form and hardens on the skin prevents it. As for mere oiling, that does not prevent it.
