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.
