Regarding prayer in a place that is ritually impure, we said that one does not bow or prostrate if the impurity is wet. So what prevents bowing, since the place of the impurity is not touched?

The questioner : Shaykh, regarding prayer in a place, oh Shaykh, that is ritually impure, we said that one does not bow or prostrate.
The Shaykh : If it is wet.
The questioner : If it is wet, what prevents bowing, given that it does not touch... the impurity.
The Shaykh : No, we said that he gestures with his head.
The questioner : Why does he not bow, oh Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, the issue of bowing does not apply to him. The bowing that occurs should not be described as "he does not bow," but they say that he is like, for example, a prisoner who is seated; bowing may be difficult for him, so he is sitting.
