The Ablution of One Who Has a Wound in His Hand That Is Harmed by Water

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a person has a wound in his hand, and if water touches it, it harms him. Does he perform wudu and wipe over his hand, or does he perform tayammum?

The Shaykh:
He keeps the water away from the place of harm and performs tayammum for it. If he has a cast or bandages on it, he wipes over them, and that suffices in place of tayammum.

The presenter:
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; I testify that there is no god but Allah, I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad Is the Messenger of Allahالله اكبر. الله الله أكبر. أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله. اشهد ان لا اله الا الله. اشهد ان محمد رسول الله
Sahih Muslim 379
. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Hurry to prayer, hurry to prayer. Hurry to success, hurry to success. Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest.

The Shaykh:
No. Yes, by Allah.
