Al-Mash ‘ala Jabeerah wal ‘Asaabah wal-lasooq
[Wiping over the Plaster (Cast), Bandage and Band-Aid]
http://alhudasisters.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/fiqh3.pdf -> Page 39
Today we will see how to wipe over these 3 things [Plaster (cast), bandage
and band aid]
2
Wearing any of these 3 things (plaster/bandage/band aid) is very common
with children. At some point in our life, we may also need to wear any of
them due to some wounds or injuries. So let us see how to wipe over them
when making wudhu’ and ghusl.
Rulings and Conditions (of wiping over the plaster/ bandage/
band aid)
3
A Muslim can put any of the things mentioned above (ie; plaster/ bandage/
band aid) if he needs to wear them in any case. It is not required to put
them after purification [means he doesn’t need to wear them in the state of
tahaarah (pure/clean) or after making wudhu’].
As long as he needs to wear them ((ie; plaster/ bandage/ band aid), he may
wipe over them during that period when he is purifying himself from minor
and major hadath (ie; when making wudhu and ghusl). And till he removes
them he can continue wiping on them instead of washing them during
purification.
In the case of removable band aid, bandage etc. which looks easy to take
off and wash the injured part underneath it without harming or causing
delay in healing the injury, then he may remove it (bandage/band aid) and
wash the injured part underneath it and replace it. [This means he can wear
again the same bandage/new band aid after washing that part when
making wudhu or ghusl].
If it is not possible to wash the injured part, then he may wipe on that part
(ie; underneath the removable bandage/band aid) with little water/wet
hands instead of washing it when making wudhu’ or ghusl.
Conditions required for wiping on the plaster/bandage/band
aid:
It is permissible to wipe on a plaster (cast)/bandage/band aid only if he is in
a position that he badly needs it. For example: In order to get his injury
healed or cured quickly, he needs to wear any of these things (ie; plaster/
bandage/ band aid) for some period and he cannot remove it till the injury
heals, then it is allowed for him to wipe over it.
So it is permissible to wipe on plaster, bandage and band aid.
From all the chapters so far we have done in detail in the Fiqh such as
tahaarah, wudhu’, wiping on the shoes/socks plaster/bandage,
tayammum etc. which are needed to perform Salah, we understand the
importance of Salaah (Prayer) in the religion of Allah Subhanahu wa
Ta’ala. You need to perform Salaat in any conditions.

Kayfiyatul Mash ‘Alayhaa (How to wipe over them):
When he makes wudhu’ and reaches that part which has one of these
things (ie; plaster/bandage/band aid), then he should wipe on that covering
and wash the area around it.
He needs to wipe on that part which has a covering as he is enjoined to
wash or cleanse that part when making wudhu’.
An example for this:
DON’T WIPE WIPE
^ WASH
If one has a plaster on his leg and if it is exceeding above his ankles, he
doesn’t need to wipe that part which is above the ankles (means he needs
to do wiping only till the ankles).
So when you make a normal wudhu’ you need to wash all the parts which
should be washed, but when you reach that part which has a plaster/
5
bandage/ band aid (which is not removable), then you need to wipe over
them.
For example: If you have an injury in your arm and you are wearing a
plaster on it (means on the part which you are enjoined to wash when
making wudhu’), you need to wash all the other parts normally and when
you reach your injured arm with plaster on it, you need to wash the area
around it (if it is to be washed when making wudhu’) and wipe over the
covering/plaster instead of washing that part.
If the plaster is exceeding above the part which is not prescribed to wash
when making wudhu’, then you don’t need to wipe on that part. You need to
wipe on the plaster or bandage only if you are wearing it on the parts that
should be washed/cleansed when making wudhu’.
Rulings on wiping over hijaab- [This is not included in the chapter.
Our teacher just explained it]
Q) Can a woman wipe over her hijaab when making wudhu’ because she
cannot take off her hijab due to the presence of non-mahram men at her
workplace?
A shaykh replied: If she is working with non-mahram men, then she
cannot even show her hands in front of them.
Anyway it is not recommended to wipe over the hijaab because it is
removable and not fixed like plasters. Also it is not difficult as you have
to just wipe your forehead and not wash.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: Is
it permissible for a woman to wipe over her khimaar?
Whatever the case, if there is some difficulty, either because the weather
is too cold or because it is difficult to take it off and put it on again, then
there is nothing wrong with wiping in such cases, otherwise it is better
not to do that. [End quote. Fataawa al-Tahaarah, p. 171]
There is a difference of opinion among the scholars. WAllahu A’lam

At-Tayammum (Dry Ablution)
http://alhudasisters.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/fiqh3.pdf - Page 43
Definition of Tayammum-
Tayamum literally means to head towards something.
Al-Ma’ani Ash-Shar’ee:
Islamically means: To wipe the face and hands with pure earth (soil/sand)
with the intention of purification.
7
So tayammum means:
(3 things to remember)
1. Wiping the face and hands
2. With pure soil/sand
3. With intention for purification (in order to pray).
(Same like wudhu’ you need to have the intention for tahaarah when doing
tayammum)
Hukmuhu/Rulings:
Hukum at-Tayammum-
Tayammum is allowed in two cases:
Shortage of water
Inability to use water – Fear of harm as a result of using it due to
sickness or extreme cold (freezing) weather conditions)
This means if water is not available or if a person is ill / hospitalized or he
fears that he might be harmed if he used water, then he is allowed to do
tayammum.
8
Al-Adillah ‘ala Mashru’iyyah at-Tayammum (Evidences for the permissibility
of making Tayammum) -
1. Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala says:
“…and you find no water, then perform Tayammum with clean earth
and rub therewith your faces and hands…” [Surat Al-Maa’idah, 5:6]
2. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The
earth has been made a place of prayer and a means of purification for
me...” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, al-Tayammum, 323)
This means you can pray anywhere on the earth (clean place) as Allah has
made it a masjid (ie; a place of prayer) and anything on the earth can be used
for purification.
3. The scholars have unanimously agreed that it is allowed to make
Tayammum.
Al-Hikmah min at-Tayammum (The wisdom/reason for making
Tayammum)-
9
1. At-Tayammum is specially for Ummat Muhammad [Nation of
Muhammad (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)]
Tayammum was not prescribed for the previous nations such as
Jews/Christians.
Allah has allowed us to make Tayammum in order to make it easy for
him if we cannot find water or we cannot use it (due to some
difficulties).
Islam doesn’t want to burden us with anything. For ex: If we cannot pray standing,
it is allowed for us to sit. If we cannot pray sitting, then it is allowed for us to lie
down. If we cannot make wudhu’, it is allowed for us to wipe. If we cannot wipe,
then it is allowed for us to make Tayammum. So everything is made easy for us.
SubhanAllah!!!
2. To avert any harm that we might experience as a result of using
water in some conditions such as in sickness or in extreme cold
(freezing) weather conditions.
3. In order to keep us constantly in connection with worship all the time.
We cannot keep us disconnected with worship even if we have no
water.
10
So one of the hikmah for allowing to do Tayammum is in order to keep us
continuously connected with Allah (through worship) even if we couldn’t make
wudhu’ due to the shortage of water for the purpose of performing Salaat.
Every act of purifications before every Salaat keeps us continuously connected
with Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. It is not like no water, no prayer for us. In any
conditions if it is impossible for us to make wudhu’, for ex: if there is no water or
even sand or even if we are in the Moon, we need to pray, SubhanAllah!! To that
extent SALAAT (PRAYER) is important for us!
We are learning the details of all the types of purifications such as wudhu’,
tayammum etc. in order to purify ourselves before performing the Salaat.
A mu’min (believer) is always in a state of purity because he makes
wudhu’/tayammum every time before Salaat and before sleeping. Whenever we are
making wudhu’ or sleeping in the state of wudhu’, there is an Angel making du’a
for us. That’s why we need to try to renew our wudhu’ all the time as it gives us
the title of mu’min.
Al-Haalaat al-lathee yusharra’ feeha at-Tayammum (Cases in which
making Tayyammum is allowed):
11
1. When one cannot find water-
If there is no water, then we need to search for it, if it is easy for us to
reach any places around where there are dwellers in any stations or
houses. If we couldn’t find any water after searching, then we can make
tayammum.
This means we cannot straight away make tayammum if we don’t find water.
We need to search for the water if it is easy for us to get in any stations in the
area around us.
2. When one is unable to use water though it is available. For example:
A person who is sick
An old person who cannot move and he has nobody to help him
3. When one fears harm as a result of using water. Cases for example:
A sick person who fears that his sickness might increase if water is
used.
12
A person living in an extreme cold (freezing) condition and he
doesn’t have any means to heat the water (no fire or in a desert).
He is in a far-off place (not possible to reach out anywhere to bring
water) and has only very little quantity of water with him which he
has to use for drinking or cooking food (means he has water only
for his basic needs).
These are the three cases a person fears he might be harmed if he use
the water. So in all these cases tayammum is allowed.
Siffat-it-Tayammum (How to make Tayammum)
13
1. Strike the soil/sand (ground) once with the (palms of the) hands
2. Then blow off the excess dust/sand
3. Wipe over the face once
4. Then wipe above the hands. Wipe above (outside /back of) the right
hand with the palm of the left
And (wipe) above (outside/back of) the left hand with the palm of the
right
Evidence from the hadith:
Narrated 'Ammar: The Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) stroked the
earth with his hands and then passed them over his face and the backs of
his hands (while demonstrating Tayammum). [Bukhaari and Muslim]
To be continued next week inshaAllah.
