What is the ruling on wudu' when there is cream on the face?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You say: I apply cream to my face because of some dryness. Is it obligatory for me to wash my face with soap to ensure that the water reaches the skin?
Answer:
The cream does not prevent the skin from being reached; it does not prevent the water. The cream, like light oil, is well known to not prevent it. It does not require washing with soap, so the water reaches the skin, and the cream and its like do not prevent it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
