The Ruling on Blood and Pus, and Wudu' in the Presence of a Wound
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a close relative of mine is in the hospital and has a wound in his leg, from which blood and pus are flowing. So, when performing wudu', is it obligatory for him to perform wudu' with water, or is it permissible for him to perform tayammum, even though he is able to wash the rest of his limbs other than his legs? And what is the ruling on the blood and pus that flows when it falls on his clothes and on the skin?
Answer:
Pus and blood are najasah (ritually impure). If it falls on his garment, he must wash it and remove it because it is impure. As for the issue of wudu', as mentioned previously, he places a bandage or dressing on the wound and wipes over it. He washes the healthy parts and wipes over the injured part until he is healed, with the permission of Allah the Exalted. Yes.
