The Ablution of One with a Bleeding Wound and the Ruling on Blood and Pus

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A relative of mine is in the hospital, and he has a wound. In his legs. Blood and pus are coming out of it. So, when performing ablution, is it obligatory for him to use water, or is it permissible for him to perform dry ablution (tayammum), even though he is able to wash the rest of his limbs and then proceed? And what is the ruling on the blood and pus that comes out when it falls on his clothes and on the skin?

Answer:
Blood and pus are ritually impure. If it falls on his garment, he must wash it and remove it because it is impure. As for the issue of ablution, as mentioned to you before, he places a bandage or dressing on the wound and wipes over it. He washes the sound parts and wipes over the injured part until he is healed, with the permission of Allah the Exalted. Yes.
