3/5

If blood is drawn from a limb, or one suffers an injury or broken limb, after which he

applies a splint or bandage, and due to the severity of the injury is unable to wash or

wipe the limb, then it is necessary (Wajib) to wipe the majority of what is used to

support the limb.

It is sufficient to wipe the part of the body that is visible between the bandages

Wiping over the bandage or splint is like washing the area beneath it as long as the

cause is present. There is no time limit on how long a person can wipe the bandage.

It is not a stipulation to tie the splint or bandage in a state of purification.

To wipe the bandage on one foot and wash the other is permissible.

The wiping is not nullified if the bandage falls off before the wound heals.

It is permitted to change one bandage with another. And it is not necessary to

repeat the wiping on the new bandage provided the old one was wiped

though it is preferable to do so.

If however, it will cause harm to wipe over the medicine, then it is permitted

to omit the wiping.

One is not required to form an intention for wiping on the footgear, splint and
