Is it obligatory for one who has a medical bandage on his hand to wipe over it during wudu'?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for one who has been injured in his hand and then had a medical bandage wrapped around it to wipe over it during wudu'? And what is required of him regarding the prayers he performed without wiping?

Answer:
Yes, if there is a bandage on his hand over a wound or a fracture, he wipes over it when performing wudu', and this suffices in place of washing what is underneath it. If he washes his hand and water passes over the bandage, this suffices in place of wiping, provided he intends to wash what is underneath it. Yes.
