Artificial prosthetic devices in wudu'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah guide you, O Shaykh. There are some artificial prosthetic devices. All the limbs that have been amputated, so these devices were not washed during wudu'. They are artificial.

Answer:
No, they are not like body parts. They are not body parts; rather, they are made to help a person with his need. They are tools, meaning tools by which a person assists himself, like a cane or a crutch. So he does not wash them and does not wipe over them because they are not body parts. Yes.
