Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
It is not considered a barrier unless it is to the extent that it prevents water from reaching the skin or hair.

Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect him):
The criterion for a barrier is that it is a visible substance that prevents water from reaching the skin. If there is doubt about whether something is a barrier or not, it must be removed or water must be applied underneath it.
