Ask an Alim

I dislocated my shoulder while I was on my menstrual cycle, how should I do ghusl?

Q:

I dislocated my shoulder while I was on my menstrual cycle, I had medical work done to fix it and now my entire upper body is covered with a tight shirt like material which cant be removed for 2 weeks and cant come into contact with water. my hair cant be washed as my body cant bend in anyway and i only have 1 functioning arm, my family is insisting that i dont wash it too so i dont have their help either. my cycle finished and i dont know how to do ghusl, can i just wash my lower body and do salah or do i not pray for 2 weeks and make it all up later?

A:

Salaamun alaykum
Thank you for your email.

In your case, you will have to perform tayammum instead of ghusl and for wudhoo, you will have to perform wudhoo jabira.

Wudhoo jabira has been explained in detail in the link above.

Kind regards,
