Making ghusl with impurity on one's skin
Question
Is my ghusl valid if there is impurity on my body during the process of ghusl, as long as the impurity does not prevent water from reaching the skin?
Answer
If the impurity remains on the body, then water will not be able to reach beneath the impurity. In this case, how can the ghusl be complete?
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
