Is tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) required when wiping over a cast, or is wiping sufficient?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This brother, the questioner, says: If a person has a bandage on a wound or something similar, is wiping over it sufficient, or is it necessary to perform tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth)?

Answer:
If the bandage is fixed on the wound or fracture, he wipes over it for as long as he needs it. As long as he needs it to remain as a dressing on the wound or a cast on the fracture, it remains without a set time limit, but according to need. He wipes over it with both the minor and major ritual purity, and he does not perform tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth); wiping is sufficient. Yes.
