{"_id":"668da0060b76658b4c232c08","title":"Do I need to wash bike grease off my hands before making wudu?","question":"If you get something on your skin that's difficult to completely wash off, even with multiple washes (e.g. ink, paint, oil), how do you approach wudu, given that you're supposed to remove things that prevent water from reaching the skin? For example, working with my bike, the grease from the chain sometimes leaves a thick film that doesn't completely wash off right away.","answer":"You are required to wash it up to three times using soap or any effective cleaner available to you. If, after three attempts, the substance cannot be completely removed, then it is considered excused. Concerning the grease you mentioned, it won't affect your wudu unless it forms a thick layer on your skin that can be scratched off with your fingernail.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe40b76658b4c232837","tag":"Tahara: Wudu","count":117},{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327bd","tag":"Tahara: Impurities and Invalidators","count":52}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:34.005Z"}
