al-Hajjājj narrated...

al-Hajjājj narrated, saying: I asked Abū al-Hasan al-Ridā, peace be on him: How can one who has a bandage perform wudū or ghusl of janāba or ghusl for the Friday prayer? [1] Al-Tahdhib, vol. 1, p. 5. [2] Wasā'il al-Shi'a, Chapter on Wudū' . [3] Ibid. He, peace be on him, replied: He should wash the uncovered part with no bandage to which water reaches, and leave apart from that; he should not remove the bandage and play with his surgery( i.e. wound, cut, burn, or broken limb).

[1] Al-jabāir are bandages (in the term of the time) or others which are put on fractures, wounds, cuts, and abscesses; and they are either on the area which should be washed during wudū or ghusl or on the area which should be rubbed. If it is possible for him to wash or rub the affected area without any harm, then it is obligatory on him to do that.

If it is not possible for him to do that because of the harm of water or the like, then it is obligatory on him to wash the place where the bandage (jabira) is, and then he rubs over it. If the bandage (jabira) on the area which should be rubbed and he cannot remove it to rub on the skin, then he should rub over it. It is worth mentioning that the Imāmi jurists have mentioned important researches on these matters. 5. The Wudū of Man and Woman Mohammed b. Ismāil b.

Buzaygh narrated on the authority of Abū al-Hasan al-Ridā, peace be on him, who said: In wudū for prayer, Allah has made it obligatory on women to start with the inward part of their hands and on men to start with the outward part of their hands. [2] Mohammed b. Ali b. al-Husayn narrated.

He said: [Al-Ridā, peace be on him, said:] Allah, the Great and Almighty, has made it obligatory on people in wudū that women should start with the inward part of their hands and men start with the outward part of their hands. [3] In wudū it is recommended for man to start with washing the outward part of his hands; and as for woman, it is recommended for her to start with washing the inward part of her hands. The meaning of [1] Furū' al-Kāfi, vol. 1, p. 11. [2] Ibid., p. 10.

[3] Man lā Yahdarahū al-Faqih, vol. 1, p. 16. the word farada in the two traditions is that He (Allah) has ordained and explained (performing wudū in this manner*)*, and not that He has made (it) obligatory. [1] 6. Seeking of Help from others in Wudū is Reprehensible Al-Hasan b. Ali al-Washshā narrated, saying: I went in to al-Ridā, peace be on him, and there was a pitcher of water before him.
