Does waterproof and non-waterproof sunscreen prevent the validity of wudu?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Nothing invalidates the ablution (wudu') except that which has a physical body preventing water from reaching the skin; this must be removed before ablution. As for that which does not prevent water penetration, the ablution performed with it is valid.
