The ruling on a father washing his young daughter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, we have a daughter who is three years old, and my wife is pregnant. The pregnancy affects her health, as she is somewhat weak and unable to attend to this daughter in using the restroom or bathing. There is no one else with us, and I am the one who washes and cleans this daughter. Is this permissible?
Answer:
Yes, if she is young, there is nothing wrong with that. If she is under seven, there is nothing wrong with that. But if she has reached seven or older, then if it becomes necessary for you to clean her and wash her private parts, let that be done with a barrier between you, and let you also wear gloves or socks, with a barrier between you. Yes.
