Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you. I have a disability in both legs and I wear a walking aid. I wear a kundra or leather shoes on them. May Allah reward you. He says: Is it permissible for me to delegate the ablution to another person to wipe over the leather socks? Because it seems he is unable to do it himself.
Answer:
Yes, if he is unable to wash his limbs or wipe over the leather socks, he appoints someone to do it on his behalf. The intention is from him, and the agent takes his place through the delegation. Fear Allah as much as you are able. Yes.
