Discovering an Obstruction on the Body After Ghusl

Faṭimah: What if a woman performs the obligatory ghusl and later discovers that there was an obstruction like nail polish or a bandage on her hand? What should she do in this case?

Mother: If she is certain that the obstruction was present during ghusl, she should remove it and wash only that part with the intention of completing the ghusl. She should also repeat the prayers she performed during that time after doing wuḍū. However, if she is unsure whether the obstruction was there before or after ghusl, then her ghusl is valid, and there is no need to make up the prayers.
