Question:
A questioner says: I underwent a surgical operation and am unable to get out of bed. There is impurity on my clothing. How do I purify myself? And do I perform wudu with water, knowing that I find it difficult to remove the impurity?
Answer:
Yes, removing ritual impurity from the garment, the spot, and the body is obligatory. As for purifying oneself and removing the state of ritual impurity by performing wudu' or by taking a full ritual bath from major ritual impurity, this is also obligatory. If he is able to remove the impurity, it is obligatory for him to do so. If he is unable to do so, it is excused for him; he prays even if there is impurity on him,[At-Taghabun 64:16]. Yes.
