Finding dough stuck on one's nail after performing salaah
Question
After salaah I saw a little dough stuck on my nail. Was my wudhu valid? Do I have to repeat my salaah?
Answer
If the dough was thick and hard and prevented the water from reaching the nail, then the wudhu was not valid. When the wudhu was not valid, then the salaah performed was also not valid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
