Draft:Jabīra Wudūʾ

From wikishia

Jabīra Wudūʾ refers to the method of performing Wudu (ablution) when there is a wound or fracture on the members of Wudu (the front of the head, face, arms, or feet).[1] The medicine applied to a wound, as well as the cloth or bandage used to bind a wound or fractured member, is called Jabīra (Arabic: جَبیرة).[2]

According to jurists, a person who has a wound or fracture on the members of Wudu must perform Wudu in the usual manner if they are able to do so;[3] however, if removing the Jabira is not possible or if causing water to reach the skin underneath it is harmful, instead of washing or wiping the damaged member directly, one must wipe a wet hand over the Jabira. If the Jabira covers only a part of the member, one must wipe a wet hand over that part and wash the surrounding areas.[4]

According to the fatwa of some jurists, for a member that requires washing in Wudu (such as the face), merely drawing a wet hand over it is not sufficient according to the famous opinion; rather, the moisture must reach the entire Jabira.[5] If the Jabira covers the entire member of Wudu, it follows the same rulings as a Jabira.[6] Some have also said that it is a recommended precaution to perform Tayammum in addition to it.[7]

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