Wudhu Over Bandage 

 

Is the hadith about wiping over the bandage authentic? If
not, what does a person with a bandage do (during
wudoo')?

The hadeeth of the bandage is not authentic, as far as I
know. As long as that is the case, the person follows the
commandments of Allaah as much as possible. Hence, if
someone has a bandage on a wound, he washes as many limbs
as possible which are required in wudoo'; apart from
that, he is excused, just as someone with an amputated
limb cannot wash all the required limbs. Allah does not
burden a soul beyond what it can bear. However, if the
hadeeth is authentic, then the bandage must be wiped.
