Wiping over dressings that have been placed on wounds

Question: 22178

There is something like abscesses on my leg, and the treatment is to wrap the site of the abscesses with a dressing so that water does not reach it when I do wudu. What is the ruling on wudoo’ in this case?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

Your wudu is valid if you wipe over the dressing or pass water over it.
