Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A sick person had surgery on his eye, and the doctor forbade him from prostrating and bowing. Also, there is a plastic cover on his eye. His question is: How does he perform wudu? And how does he pray?
Answer:
As for wudu, he washes the sound parts of his body and wipes over the cover on the eye; he wipes over it, and that is sufficient. As for prayer, he prays according to his condition and does not prostrate as long as the doctor has forbidden him from prostrating, because this disrupts the treatment and is dangerous for the eye. Praise be to Allah. He bows, he prostrates, he prostrates, he prostrates. Yes.
