Doing wudu with an injury

Sep 24, 2021 | Wudu

Q: If someone has a medical condition/ injury which requires them to tape the bottom of their feet (to limit movement of the tissue in order for it to heal), can they make tayyamum instead of wudu? The reason being that the tape has a very strong adhesive and is difficult to remove and reapply as it is designed to stick to the skin for several days and continuous removal of it can cause the skin to tear off?

A: Tayammum is not permitted in this situation. They can wipe over the tape and wash the rest of limbs.
