The method of purifying oneself from menstruation in the presence of wounds

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Sin 'Alif from Riyadh, says: I underwent a surgical operation, and wounds appeared in my abdomen after the procedure. When I wanted to purify myself from menstruation, may Allah protect you, I took a plastic bandage and tied it around my abdomen, fearing that water would pass over my wounds. So I performed the full ritual bath, and some water reached the wounds, moistening them, but it was light. Is this action valid? Did I become pure by it? And if it is not valid, what should I do? Do I repeat the bath, or what? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
What was obligatory for you was to wash the sound parts of your body and to keep the water away from the wounds. You should wipe over them, wipe over them. If they cannot bear the wiping, then you perform dry ablution with clean earth for them. This is what is obligatory for you. Yes.
