Ghusal for a person who cannot put water into his eyes

· 22 Rabiʻ II 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I had cataract surgery on one eye. The doctor advised not to let water go into the eye that has been operated on. How do I make ghusul for jumuah?

Answer

Cover the entire area of the eye properly so that water does not enter and thereafter wash the remainder of your body. This will suffice for the ghusal.

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