Do long nails prevent the validity of wudu' if they are dirty?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, does the length of the nails, especially if they are filled with mud or dirt for example, does this affect the wudu'?
The Shaykh : It depends on the dirt. If the dirt is solidified, like concrete or plaster, such that it prevents the water from reaching the skin, there is no doubt that this invalidates the wudu'. But if the dirt is something that is washed away by the water, then no person is free from that.
The questioner: Yes.
