Question

I am female and I had my periods now and it has ended so now I have to do my ghusl but I have a bandage on my right foot which can't be removed so how will I perform my ghusl?

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer

Ensure the bandage is covered with a waterproof item, then have your Ghusal as normal, washing the rest of the body, then afterward wipe the bandage and your Ghusal will be complete.[1]

Take care not to let the water reach the damaged part of your foot as this may harm you, also know that you are only required to wipe the bandage for the covered part of the foot even though your bandage will cover a bigger part of your foot than the actual wounds.

Only Allah Knows best.
