I have wounds the size of a barley grain; is my wudu' valid if I put a medical bandage on them?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: Often I get some wounds or small burns while working in the kitchen. They may be the size of a barley grain, for example, but they cause me some pain until they heal. Is my wudu' valid if I put a medical bandage on them, since covering the wound hastens its healing, or is this only for large wounds? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no harm in covering the wound, even if it is small, if that is a cause of its healing. If you perform wudu', wipe over it; wipe over the bandage. This is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
