Question
I was recently painting my house and while painting I got paint all over me - my arms, body, and feet. The prayer for Magrib came in and I was washing as much paint as I could off and then I did wudu. There was still paint on my when I made wudu but it was small spots.
After prayer I noticed that under my feet was more paint that was about the size of a penny. It was a light layer of paint with some skin showing and paint on other parts. Was my wudu valid? If not, should I make up my Magrib prayer? Jazaykum allahu khayran!
Answer
AAWW
According to your description; you need to repeat your Maghreb again since your Wudu was not valid.
As you know, one of the conditions for the correctness of Wudu is to wash the skin of the Wudu limbs directly and completely. And because this stipulation was not satisfied, then making up the prayer is a must.
May Allah increase your knowledge and commitment to your Religion.
