The covering on a burnt part of the body takes the same ruling as the splint

21-3-2006 | IslamWeb

Question:

I was deeply burnt in my arm and I am undergoing treatment, so how should I perform ablution taking into account that this burnt part of the body is covered. Also, how do I purify myself from menses? Is my prayer going to be accepted by Allaah?

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. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

This covering takes the ruling of a splint. We have already issued Fatwa 87008 clarifying its ruling, so please refer to it.

Your prayer with the splint [covering over the burnt] is valid and acceptable, Allaah willing.  

Allaah Knows best.
