Q: Is the eye mucus permeable when it is soft? It looks impermeable when it is hard.
A: If the secretion is hard and it prevents the water permeating, then without removing the secretion, the wudhu will not take place. However if it is such that it does not prevent the water reaching the face, the wudhu will take place.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
