The questioner : ... In this case, a person has an injury on his head; is it considered excessive piety if he performs the full ritual bath without washing his head and performs dry ablution at the same time?
The Shaykh : If he knows that this full ritual bath will not cause him harm, he should perform the full ritual bath and proceed as usual. However, dry ablution, or more precisely, adding dry ablution to the full ritual bath, is a matter of precaution, not an obligation.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, if the water reaches the site of the wound.
The questioner : Yes, meaning dry ablution is permissible, is it permissible?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : Is dry ablution permissible?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible; therefore, I say: dry ablution is a precaution?
