Q: I did ghusl and wudu and prayed salah. After salah I realized I had some black residue on my eyebrows and a little on my eyelid and eye (residue for all areas mentioned was eyeliner) but this wasn’t clearly visable. Even though I washed my face several times also the head area so I assumed everything was washed off. I am now concerned whether my prayer has been invalid.
A: If the eyeliner is porous then the wudhu will be valid and the salaah will also be valid.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
