Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person has a cast on his hand and a feeding tube on the other hand. When he prays, he only performs tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth). It is known that if he needs to wash for cleanliness, he takes a full ritual bath and places a barrier over the cast to keep the water off. Is his tayammum valid, or is he required to perform wudu' (the ablution for prayer) and wipe over the cast?
Answer:
It depends on one's ability. If he is able to perform wudu' with water, he performs wudu'. But if it causes him hardship or he is unable to do so, he performs tayammum.[An-Nisa 4:43] So Allah made illness one of the excuses that permit tayammum. Yes.
