Making Masah on a plaster/cast

· 8 Shaʻban 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I made Masah on a plaster on my hand. After I performed Salaah, I changed the plaster. Does my Wudhu remain valid?

Answer

(Question summarized and published)

Masah over a plaster/cast will remain valid until the wound etc. completely heals. If the plaster/cast is changed, it will not be necessary to repeat the Masah over the plaster/cast and the Wudhu will remain valid.

Upon the wound completely healing, Masah over the plaster/cast will now not suffice and it will be necessary to wash the healed area. (Jadeed Fiqhi Masaail 1/62)

Note: Masah over a plaster/cast will only be valid in the case of a valid Shari’ reason e.g. if the wound will not heal completely if the plaster/cast is removed.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

Can I make masah on socks or leather socks (khuffs)?

“In principle, wiping over ordinary socks even after a complete wudu is not valid, as they do not fulfil the conditions required for wiping. Therefore, the approximately twenty ṣalāhs mentioned above, limited to the farḍ and Witr…”
