The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. This listener says: I have a sister who was afflicted with a congenital disease in her hand, and the doctor prohibited her from using water. How should she perform her ablution, prayer, and full ritual bath?

The Shaykh:
If she performs ablution or the full ritual bath, she should avoid the area affected by water, and wash the sound parts of her limbs or body. She should perform dry ablution with clean earth for the area with the disease. Thus, she combines ablution on the sound limbs or the full ritual bath on the rest of her body, and performs dry ablution with clean earth for the area that water does not reach due to the disease. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. Yes.

The Shaykh:
If there is a covering on it, if this area has a bandage on it, then it is sufficient for her to wipe over it. She wipes over the barrier, and this is sufficient. Yes.
