Is glue an obstacle to ablution?

If there is hot glue on my nail or skin and it is dry, will my wudu/ghusl be valid?

The thing that sticks to the wudu area and forms a layer is an obstacle to wudu. However:

- If you are dealing with such a job due to your profession and cannot escape under normal conditions,

- Or if your hands are contaminated in normal life, but because you can't find a solvent or if you have them in a way that cannot be solved without damaging your skin... In both of these cases, your wudu' will be accepted because it is a necessity, biiznillah.
