A question regarding wudu

Nadia_H · November 5, 2003, 5:27pm

This may have been answered before on this Forum; if so i apologize. How do you do a proper wudu if some part, for example your hand, is bandaged? i THINK i remember reading somewhere that you’re supposed to gently pass water over it three times (not a lot of water if the bandage shouldn’t be exposed to water). Is that accurate? What if you can’t use your bandaged hand at all, how do you do wudu? How do you know that the wudu hasn’t been ‘nullified’ because you’re not following the proper steps?

Answers with references would be great. Thanks in advance.

If you read Quran, Allah swt that He does not want to make life difficult for us. So if anyone is unable to do proper wudu due to injuries, then do the best possible and leave it to Allah swt for acceptance.

if you can make wadu with water you can do tamuhm(spell)....if you can't pray while standing pray while sitting down..
