Is oil a barrier preventing the validity of wudu?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Seekersguidance.org

Question:  Is wudu valid if masah is performed on oily hair?

Answer:
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,

Assalam’aleykum, I pray this finds you in the best of states.

Jazakum Allah khayr for your question

No oil on a limb or in the hair does not prevent the validity of wudu because it is not a physical barrier between the limb and the water. [Maraqi al-Falah]

And Allah knows best.

May  Allah Most High grant you the best of this world and the next. Please keep us in your du’as!

Wassalam
