What to do if you can’t wash

Fatwaa ID: 620

Question:
Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatahu Mufti saab,

If after cleaning yourself, if there are droplets of lets say urine or impure water around your limbs where you can’t simply wash with water. How should one try to clean themselves?

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

If you are unable to wash off the impurity from your limbs for whatever reason, then you should take a wet tissue and wipe that portion of your body with that. That would render that part pure.

And Allaah Ta’aala knows best.
