Najafi Q&A: Rulings of Splints

Answer

In the name of Allah, if the cannula does not cover anything from the skin and it is possible for water to reach the skin surrounding the needle of the cannulas, then the patient must perform washing and ablution. If it is not possible to make water reach to all the surrounding sides of the skin of the cannulas and it is not possible to remove the cannulas and then put it back after washing and ablution, then the provisions of the splint are applied, and he wipes over the parts of the cannula that was not covered by the water, if possible and if not possible, then put a rag on the cannula, like plaster, and wipe over it. Allah knows best.
