White Heads Coming Of The Face After Ghusl

· 5 Jumada II 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If after Ghusl, a pimple, which is referred to as a white head comes off the face, what is the status of Wudhu?

Answer

White heads coming of the face after taking a Ghusl will not invalidate the wudhu. A pimple bursting after taking a Ghusl will not invalidate Wudhu if nothing flows out of it. However, if fluid emerges from it and flows out, it will invalidate the Wudhu.
