Wudhu with a plaster on

· 26 Rabiʻ I 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I put a plaster on the back of my mother's foot at around isha as she had a blister. She still had it on until the next day Maghrib because she forgot about it. Are her prayers invalid?

Answer

If the wound had not yet healed, then it was permissible for her to continue wearing it. Hence, the wudu which she made with it on was valid and the salaah performed was also valid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
