Wiping over dressings that have been placed on wounds

19-08-2003

Question 22178

There is something like abscesses on my leg, and the treatment is to wrap the site of the abscesses with a dressing so that water does not reach it when I do wudu. What is the ruling on wudoo’ in this case?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

Your wudu is valid if you wipe over the dressing or pass water over it.
