Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh Ahmad, may Allah keep you safe. During the full ritual bath for major ritual impurity, there is a pimple on the back. Should one pour water over the back, or is dry ablution (tayammum) required? It is known that the pimple is not affected by water.
Answer:
Pouring water over it is sufficient; one only needs to wipe it. If you pour water over it, that is not sufficient; you must wipe it. You move your hand over it in accordance with what has been reported, so you wipe over it during the bath by moving your hand over it. This is the wiping.
