Substitute Devices in Wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there are some substitute devices for all the limbs of the body that have been amputated. Is it necessary to wash these artificial devices during wudu'?
Answer:
No, these are not limbs; they are merely placed to help a person with his need. They are tools, meaning they are instruments by which a person assists himself, like a cane or a chair. So he does not wash them, nor does he wipe over them, because they are not limbs. Yes.
