How a person whose legs have been amputated performs wudu'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A man residing in al-Qassim had both of his legs amputated from the shins. So, how does he perform wudu' in that case? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
He washes the remaining limbs, the face and the hands, and wipes his head. As for the two legs, since they were amputated from the shins, he is not required to wash any part of the shins, because the shin is not a place for washing unless the leg is cut at the ankle joint. In that case, he washes the remaining part of the ankle. However, if it was cut from the shin or above, the obligation to wash the legs is dropped from him because the place for washing is no longer present.
