How a Patient Who Is Unable to Perform the Rituals Performs Wudu'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the patient, Honorable Shaykh, how does he perform wudu' if he is unable to go to the restroom, may Allah keep you safe?

Answer:
Yes, if he has someone to help him perform wudu' and assist him with the wudu', it is obligatory for him to perform wudu', because he is capable. If he does not have anyone to help him with the wudu', and he is unable to do it, or it is difficult for him, then he performs tayammum. He performs tayammum by striking the pure, clean earth and wiping his face and his hands, and this suffices in place of water for the disabled, the sick, and the traveler. Yes.
