Dirt Remaining Under the Nail

Question
What is the ruling for someone who has dirt remaining under their nail and then performs ablution?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It suffices for washing; because the dirt originates from it, and because the water penetrates it, it does not prevent the water from reaching the nail. Refer to: Sharh al-Wiqayah, pp. 91-92, and God knows best.
