Question:
The questioner says: I am an imam, and during the third rak’ah of the Maghrib prayer, I noticed a small amount of light phlegm on my hand. Does this affect my prayer?
Answer:
If it prevents water from reaching what is underneath it, then it affects his prayer. However, if it does not prevent water from reaching it, then it has no effect and does not prevent the validity of the prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
