Question:
If dry ink remains on the nails whilst performing wudu and remains unnoticed, is it still valid?
Answer:
If the ink is dry on the nails of a writer and he did not notice it whilst performing wudu and went on to offer prayer, then according to Imam Ahmed Rida, the wudu will be valid.
And Allah ﷻ knows the best
Imam Ahmad Rida Khan رحمة الله تعالى عليه
