Ruling on Wudu with a Bandage on Wounds
If a finger is injured or burned, and a medical bandage is applied to speed up the healing process, must the bandage be removed when performing wudu?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If removing the adhesive and washing or wiping the wound would delay healing or worsen the wound, it is permissible to wipe over the adhesive. And God knows best.
