The Ruling on Wudu' in the Presence of a Wound

Question:
We conclude this episode with this question. The questioner says: A person has a wound on his hand, and water does not reach it, and he did not perform tayammum. What is required of him?
Answer:
If this wound is covered with a bandage or a cast over it, he wipes over it, and this suffices him from washing what is underneath it. As for if this wound is not covered, and water does not reach it or harms it, he performs tayammum; he performs tayammum for it. If he prayed without performing tayammum and without wiping over the cast or the bandage, then his wudu' is incomplete. He must renew his wudu' and repeat the prayer. Yes.
