Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: A person had a wound on one of the toes of his foot and placed a bandage on it. When performing wudu', he washes his foot and wipes over the bandage on his toe, but sometimes he forgets to wipe over the bandage. Is his wudu' valid?
The Shaykh:
No. If he forgets to wipe, his wudu' is not complete, because wiping suffices for washing what is underneath it. If he forgets it, he must repeat the wudu', unless he remembers shortly after and his limbs have not dried, in which case he wipes and washes what comes after the wiped limb. Yes.
The questioner:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Is the prayer...
The Shaykh:
Meaning, he repeats washing what comes after the limb and the wiped part. Yes.
