The Ruling on Wiping over a Bandage on the Ear
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you. If a person undergoes a procedure on his ear and a bandage is placed on it, does he wipe over it as he would wipe over the ears, or does he wipe over the bandage?
Answer:
He wipes over the bandage, and that suffices, if Allah wills. It suffices in place of wiping the ears. There is a prayer room next to the building where we live, and the call to prayer is made there for all the prayers. Is it permissible for us to pray in our apartment?
