The questioner : She says that she had cosmetic surgery on her nose, and the doctor told her not to let water touch her nose. She continued in this state, O Shaykh, for four days, performing tayammum and praying. Is this tayammum valid? Does she wash the rest of her limbs or not?
The Shaykh : You wash the rest of the limbs.
The questioner : I was ignorant, I mean.
The Shaykh : Yes, she says: No, Honorable Shaykh.
The questioner : I think it is better that she repeat the prayer. Even if you were ignorant?
The Shaykh : Even if she was ignorant, O Shaykh.
The questioner : We prayed in a room other than this one now.
The Shaykh : Yes, may Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh, and likewise for you. We will take a call.
