Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I had a surgical operation on my right shoulder, and my hand will remain tied up for two weeks. He says: What should I do regarding the ablution, since I am unable to put water on my hand, and likewise regarding the bowing and prostration?
Answer:
Fear Allah as much as you are able. Wash the sound hand and perform dry ablution (tayammum) for the injured hand that you cannot reach with water; perform tayammum for it, and pray, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
