The Ruling on Prosthetic Devices in Wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And other than that, the Shaykh informs you, may Allah guide you, there are some prosthetic devices.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
On all his limbs, on the one that is amputated. Does he wash these artificial devices?
The Shaykh:
No, these are not limbs; rather, they are made to help a person with his need. They are tools, meaning they are tools by which a person assists himself, like a cane or a chair. So he does not wash them, nor does he wipe over them, because they are not limbs.
