If I have a tiny cut on my hand or on one of the Wudu areas how can I do Wudu without spreading the Nijasa? Would I have to place a dry tissue and wipe over it or should I wait for the wound to heal first?

Nails . Wudu (Ablution)

Is your Wudu valid if you have long nails?

If the long nails stop water from reaching to any part of the hand which must be washed in Wudhu, it will then cause the Wudhu to be invalid. But if you ae sure that water is reaching to every part of your hand which must be washed in Wudhu, then you have no problem.

It is better to avoid long nails as it can cause some times preventing water from reaching and if such thing happens, the Wudhu will be invalid.
