Washing of One Who Anointed with Oil

Question
What is the ruling on the ablution and washing of one who has anointed himself with oil on one of his body parts?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If it is confirmed that water reaches the skin, then his ablution and washing are valid; otherwise, they are not. Refer to: رد المحتار 1: 104, وعمدة الرعاية 1: 78, and God knows best.
