Question
I am handicapped; my legs are amputated approximately 15 cm below the
knee. Do I have to wash my amputated legs during ablution or should I
wipeover my artificial limbs orwhat should be done in this regard ?
May Allah reward you .
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
If the amputee still has parts of the amputated limbs, which should be
washed during ablution, then he is unquestionably obliged to wash
them. However, if the limbs were amputated above the part which should
be washed during ablution, then he is unquestionably not obliged to
wash them.
If the amputee has his legs severed from the ankles, or the arms were
amputated from the elbows, then he should wash the ends of his legs
and arms. However, other scholars believed that it is merely
recommended to wet thetips of the amputated limbs, which are among the
parts of the body thatrequire ablution.
Hence, if your legs were amputated above the ankle joint, as it seems
from your question, then you are not obliged to wash the amputated
legs or wipe over the artificiallimbs; for Allaah The Exalted Enjoined
washingthe feet up to the ankle for ablution; Allaah The Exalted Says
(what means): { And wash your feet to the ankles. } [Quran 5:6] The
obligation is removed if the organ involved is removed.
Allaah Knows best.
