Q
If a person who has a disability such as a spinal injury is unable to perform wudu, what can be done as an alternative? Is this person still obliged to perform the full wudu?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
In this fatwa:
Those who are unable to make wudu due to disability, they can make tayammum, which is to touch the sand and wipe over hands and face. If they can not rub their faces, it is enough to rub their hands.
