The Ruling on Wiping over a Cast and Its Conditions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon the noblest of the prophets and messengers, our master and prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions. May Allah bless you and benefit us with your knowledge, and may Allah reward you with the best reward for us and for the Muslims. Does wiping over a cast and bandage suffice in place of dry ablution? And what are the conditions for wiping over a cast?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if the cast is only as much as is needed, then wiping over it suffices and one does not perform dry ablution. However, if the cast extends beyond the area of need, then it is obligatory to remove it and shorten it to the area of need. If removing it is difficult, then one performs dry ablution for the excess part: one wipes over what is on the site of the injury and performs dry ablution for the excess that is difficult to remove.
The presenter:
You say.
The Shaykh:
So the conditions for the cast are that it does not exceed what is needed, and that one is in need of it. As for if one puts it on while not needing it, then it is not permissible for him to wipe over it.
