What is the ruling on the prayer and how should ablution be performed for someone who works in a workshop and whose hands are always oily?
Short answer
A Muslim must first remove anything that prevents water from reaching the skin of the ablution limbs before performing ablution, since water must be spread over all of them.

Summary
A Muslim must first remove anything that prevents water from reaching the skin of the ablution limbs before performing ablution, since water must be spread over all of them. For workers such as mechanics or painters who find this difficult, a concession is given for small traces of oil or paint. The concession applies only after sincere effort to remove them, in view of the nature of their work.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam perkara ini, kami berpandangan bahawa wajib kepada seorang muslim itu sebelum menyempurnakan wuduk untuk menanggalkan atau menghilangkan terlebih dahulu apa-apa yang menghalangi air untuk sampai pada kulit anggota wuduk dengan sempurna.
