A man performed wudu', then it became apparent that there was something sticky on the sole of his foot from before the wudu'; is his wudu' valid?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, some people who perform wudu' find something sticky on the edge of the foot, meaning underneath, after the wudu', and it was sticky before the wudu'. Does this invalidate the wudu' or not?
The Shaykh : I did not understand what this thing is?
The questioner : I mean, he performed wudu' and, for example, a piece of tar is stuck to the foot!
The Shaykh : The wudu' is not valid.
The questioner : Does he repeat the prayer and the wudu'?
The Shaykh : He must remove the barrier preventing water from reaching the skin, and after that he must repeat his wudu' and repeat his prayer if he had prayed with that first wudu'.
Yes, anything else?
