Question:
A man was afflicted with an illness and his leg was amputated above the knee. How does he wipe over it during wudu' for prayer?
Answer:
He is not required to wipe as long as it was amputated above the knee. He is not required to wipe because the place of the obligation has been removed, for the place of the obligation is from the ankles and below. If what is above the ankles is removed, the leg above the ankles is gone, so he owes nothing and does not wipe in this case because the place of the obligation has been removed. Yes.
