Unable to Perform Wudu Due to Disability
Almighty Allah says:
O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves. (Al-Ma’idah 5:6)
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Allah does not accept prayer of anyone of you if he does hadath (passes wind) till he performs the ablution (anew).” (Al-Bukhari)
A person who has a spinal injury and is unable to perform wudu (ablution), what can be an alternative? Is this person still obliged to perform the full wudu? Watch this short video to get the answer with Sheikh Waleed Basyouni.
