In the past, they used to circumcise a man when he reached the age of 18, and he would remain for two months without performing wudu' or praying..!

Question:
May Allah grant you success. In one of the regions in the south, they used to circumcise a man when he reached the age of eighteen. The young man would remain for about two months without performing wudu' or praying because of the wound, and this was due to his ignorance. This happened to my father when he was young, and he is now asking what is obligatory for him, and how he should make up the prayers he left off during those two months?

Answer:
That means he should perform tayammum with dust and pray. Now, what does circumcision have to do with washing the face and hands, wiping the head, and washing the feet? That is only in the case of istinja'. Perhaps he could perform istinja' with towels or stones, not washing with water; he performs istinja' with stones or towels to dry the exit of the hadath. Istinja' is not part of wudu'; rather, it is part of removing najasah. It is not part of wudu'. If he was performing wudu' instead of washing the limbs, that is a mistake, and this is not valid and not permissible. So, write the question and send it for a fatwa, and they will look into it, if Allah wills. Yes.
