How to perform wudu' for one who has a wound that prevents water from reaching it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. A woman says: She had eye surgery, and the doctor forbade her from touching water or letting it reach her eye. Is it permissible for her to pray without washing her face? Or is it obligatory for her to wash the other limbs that are far from her eye?
Answer:
If surgery is performed on the eye or on any other part of the body required for wudu', and if water reaching this wound or the site of the operation would harm the person performing wudu', then he washes the healthy parts and leaves the injured part, and performs tayammum for it. However, if there is a covering, bandage, or dressing on it, he wipes over the dressing or bandage, and this is sufficient. As for if there is nothing on it, he keeps the water away from it and performs tayammum with dust in place of washing it. Yes.
