Salaah with Paint

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askmufti.co.za

Q: I have paint on my hands and I tried my best to take it off. There are still some patches left. Will wudu be accepted? Will I have to do qazaa of the namaaz which I read with paint?

A: If the paint is such that it prevents water from touching the skin then a paint remover (or something similar) will have to be used before making Wudhu. If the paint does not prevent water from reaching the skin then it is fine. If it is of the first type then Salaah will have to be repeated.

Allah Ta’aala knows best.
