Wudu' for One Whose Hands Are Broken

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am a man whose hands are broken; how do I perform wudu'?

Answer:
As for the one whose hands are disabled or amputated, he says the takbir, and someone else performs wudu' for him, whether it is his wife, his brother, his father, or a servant, until they perform wudu' for him, wash his face, wipe his head, and wash his feet. As for the amputated hands, if they are amputated above the elbow and nothing remains, then if they are amputated from the middle of the forearm, he washes what remains; he washes what remains of the forearm. But if they are amputated above the elbow, then this limb is excused, and he has three limbs remaining: the face, the head, and the hands. So someone else performs wudu' for him, whether it is his wife
