Summary
A person whose ablution limb is covered because of a wound or sore, and who is in a situation of necessity, is not required to remove the covering when performing ablution. They perform ablution as usual without washing the skin under the covering. This must then be followed by tayammum that fulfils its conditions and pillars.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
seseorang yang anggota wuduknya tertutup disebabkan luka atau kudis pada masa berwuduk disebabkan darurat tidaklah mesti membuka tutupan itu pada masa berwuduk.
