Q: While in janabah some semen got onto my leg. I did ghusal and purified myself thoroughly. Not long after I discovered the semen dried on the hairs of my leg. I scraped it off and re-washed the part as a precaution. Was my initial ghusal valid or did the dry semen prevent the water reaching the skin on the leg?
A: Since the hair on your leg did not get wet, the ghusal was not complete.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
