IRSYAD HUKUM SIRI KE-781: ADAKAH SAH WUDUK SEKIRANYA TERDAPAT KESAN GLITTER DARIPADA SOLEKAN?
Is ablution (wudu) valid if traces of makeup glitter remain on the skin?
Short answer
Glitter is a solid substance that prevents water from reaching the skin, so wudu is invalid if glitter visible to the naked eye remains.

Summary
Glitter is a solid substance that prevents water from reaching the skin, so wudu is invalid if glitter visible to the naked eye remains. A person performing wudu must remove every barrier until certain that nothing is left. If glitter is noticed after or during an obligatory prayer, the prayer must be repeated with fresh wudu. If one merely doubts whether glitter was fully removed in past wudu without certainty, there is no obligation to make up the prayers.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Glitter merupakan bahan pejal yang bersifat menghalang air ke kulit. Oleh itu, tidak sah wuduk sekiranya kesan glitter yang dapat dilihat dengan mata kasar tidak ditanggalkan dengan sempurna.
