Making wudhu while the glue from the plaster is on one's skin

· 15 Rabiʻ I 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I had my blood drawn from my arm for tests. I thought the small black spots on my arm (elbow crease) where the needle went in were bruises. But they were actually glue bits from the band aid. I have been praying regularly before I found out this. Are my prayers valid? Or do I need to redo them?

Answer

If the glue prevented water reaching that part of the arm which needed to be washed in wudu, then you should repeat all those salaah which you performed while the glue was still on your hand.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
