Rules of Wudhu Jabirah

Wudhu Jabirah

 

Medicine and things like this that have been applied to an injury or things that are wrapped around an injury are referred to as a Jabirah.

  1. If someone has an injury or a wound on one of the parts of Wudhu, but is still able to perform Wudhu in the regular manner, then he must perform it as such. For example, if the injury (wound) is open, and pouring water on it is not harmful, or if the injury is covered (like with a cast or bandage), but it is possible to open that covering and the pouring of water on the wound is not harmful, then (in both instances) Wudhu must be performed in the usual manner.
  2. In the event that the injury is on the face or the arms, and the injury is open, and it is harmful to pour water on it, one must wash around the injury. If the rubbing of a moist hand over top of the injury will not be harmful, then according to Ihtiyat (precautionary measures), the moist hand must be rubbed over those parts.
  3. While performing Wudhu Jabirah, if it is possible to wash and rub those places that must be washed and rubbed, then this must be done. As for those places where it is not possible, a wet hand must be rubbed over the Jabirah.
  4. If the injury is on the front of the head or on the top of the feet (the places of wiping) and these places are open (the wound is open), but one cannot perform the wiping on those parts, them the Ihtiyat (precautionary measures) is that a Tahir cloth be placed over the injury, and with the moisture that is on the hand from the Wudhu, one must wipe over the cloth. However, if it is not possible to place a cloth over the injury, then the wiping will not be necessary, but in both instances, one must perform Tayammum after the Wudhu.
  5. If there are multiple injuries on the face or arms, then the areas between the injuries must be washed. In addition, if there are multiple bandages on the head or the top of the feet, the wiping must be performed between these bandages, and wherever there is a bandage, wiping must be performed in the way as was previously mentioned for Wudhu Jabirah.
  6. Someone who has a bandage on the palm of the hand or on the fingers, then at the time of Wudhu the wet hand is rubbed over it, and one must perform the wiping of the head or feet with that same moisture.
  7. If the bandage covers the face completely, one of the hands or both of the hands completely, Wudhu Jabirah must be performed. According to Ihtiyat Wajib (obligatory precaution), if the complete area or a part of the area where Tayammum is performed is not covered, then Tayammum must be performed as well.
  8. If the bandage covers the complete foot, but a small amount around the toes and a little area above the foot is open, one must wipe those parts which are open and also wipe on top of the Jabirah.
  9. If the Jabirah is larger than usual around the injury, and it is not possible to take it off, one must act according to the rules of Wudhu Jabirah, and according to Ihtiyat Wajib (obligatory precaution), must also perform Tayammum. In the event that it is possible to remove the Jabirah, then it must be removed.
  10. If something is stuck on the place of Wudhu or Ghusl, and it is not possible to remove it or it is so painful to take it off that one will not be able to withstand the pain, then one must act according to the rules of Wudhu Jabirah. According to Ihtiyat Wajib (obligatory precaution), if the complete area or a part of the area that is performed in Tayammum is uncovered, then Tayammum must be performed as well.
  11. If the Jabirah is Najis, or one is not able to wipe a wet hand over top of it; for example, there is some medicine that is on the hand - then a Tahir cloth must be placed over the injury and the moist hand must be wiped over that.
  12.  Ghusl Jabirah is similar to Wudhu Jabirah, however, as per precautionary measure it is highly recommended, that it must be performed by way of Tartibi (sequential), and not Irtimasi (all at one time).
