What is the ruling on wudhu if the hands have Vaseline or body creams on them? الوضوء بوجود الفازلين على اليد
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family and his companions.
As to what follows:
In response to your question, we say, and with Allah Almighty lies all success:
If the body has absorbed the grease, then there is no obstacle in performing wudhu. But if there is a layer preventing the contact of water with the skin, then remove the layer before performing wudhu.
