Draft:Jabīra Wudūʾ

From wikishia

Jabīra Wudūʾ refers to the specific method of performing Wudu (ablution) when there is a wound or fracture on any of the members of Wudu (the forelock, face, arms, or feet).[1] The term Jabira (Arabic: جَبیرة) designates the medicine applied to a wound, as well as the cloth, splint, or bandage used to bind a wound or fractured limb.[2]

According to jurists, an individual who has a wound or fracture on the members of Wudu is obligated to perform Wudu in the standard manner if they are capable of doing so.[3] However, if removing the Jabira is impossible, or if water reaching the underlying skin would be harmful, one must wipe a wet hand over the Jabira in lieu of washing or wiping the affected member directly. If the Jabira covers only a portion of the member, one must wipe a wet hand over that specific part and wash the surrounding areas.[4]

Based on the fatwas of certain jurists regarding members that require washing during Wudu (such as the face), the prevalent opinion holds that merely drawing a wet hand over the area is insufficient; rather, the moisture must encompass the entire Jabira.[5] If the Jabira covers the entire member of Wudu, the standard rulings of Jabira apply.[6] Some authorities have also stated that it is a recommended precaution to perform Tayammum in addition to the ablution.[7]

The Jabira itself must be pure (not Najis). If it cannot be wiped over because it is Najis, a clean piece of cloth must be placed over it, and the wiping should be performed over that cloth.[8]
