The questioner:
He says: I work in a painting shop in the trade of paints. When the time for prayer comes, I wash my hands well from the paint and enter into prayer. But sometimes, after finishing the prayer, I find small spots, less than half a centimeter, with some paint on them. Do I have to repeat the prayer?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if it covers the skin, even if it is a small amount such that water does not reach what is underneath it, then it is necessary to remove the paint, perform wudu' again, and repeat the prayer. Yes.
The questioner:
Meaning,
The Shaykh:
He emphasizes that before performing wudu', you must remove the paint and ensure that nothing of it remains at all; you must be certain of that. Yes.
