Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A patient suffering from goat pox needs to apply a thick liquid to the affected areas of his body. Is he required to remove it every time he performs wudu, or is tayammum sufficient for him?
Answer:
If it prevents water from reaching what is underneath it, and if he is able to remove it without harm, then he removes it. However, if he would be harmed by removing it, and it covers the place of pain like a plaster, he wipes over it. Yes.
