The answer

The questioner's intrusive thoughts should be answered by ignoring them. What she described as a transparent fluid from the nose is not a barrier that prevents water from reaching the skin; rather, it is a form of intrusive thought (waswasah), and her ablution (wudu') is valid. The criterion for a barrier is that it must have a tangible mass that prevents water from reaching [the skin]. If a barrier is found after ablution and it is probable that it appeared subsequently, then it should be considered as having appeared afterward.
