Tayammum as a substitute for wiping over a cast
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sulayman from al-Jubayl says: I have a fracture in my hand, and there is a cast on this fracture. Sometimes I am in a state of major ritual impurity, and I fear that using water will affect the cast. So I perform tayammum for several days. Is my action correct?
Answer:
No, tayammum is not prescribed in this case. What is prescribed is wiping over the cast. So you wipe over the cast until what is underneath it heals. Once it has healed, you remove the cast. As for as long as what is underneath it has not healed, there is no harm in leaving it on, even if the time is long, due to necessity. Yes.
