Question:
Assalamualaikum

Mufti sb

I had a personal question

As my father suffering from paralysis and brain stroke

So Weekly i need to give him gusul

So to give bath i need to remove clothes and give bath

So in this condition is it necessary to cover the satar of my father while bathing

Waiting for your reply

Jazakallah khair

Answer:
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.

May Allaah Ta’aala make it easy for you and him and grant him shifaa. May Allaah Ta’aala reward you abundantly for serving your father.

The satar/’awrah must be covered at all times unless necessary. We advise that when you bathe him, you should place a towel or cloth on that portion and wash from beneath it without looking. When necessary to look, you may uncover then.

And Allaah Ta’aala knows best.
