The answer

The skin on the sole of the foot is not dead scaly skin that must be removed. Rather, it is firm skin connected to the body. The validity of wudu (ablution) and (ritual bath) is not affected by its presence as long as it is attached to the body. Therefore, there is no need to repeat the prayers. As for fasting, purity is not a condition for it at all. We advise against excessive scrupulousness in matters of purity and to beware of obsessive doubts (waswas).
