Question
A Lady who was born with a single kidney is now suffering from bladder problems and a urine bag had to be attached for the retention of the continuous drops. She has been advised to perform wudhu before every Salaat. What is the ruling regarding handling the Qur'aan? How does it affect her fasting? She is 73 years old. The urine bag is attached to a metre-long catheter tube. According to a nurse, it can be pegged for a few minutes to combine Asr and Maghrib wudhu.
Answer
The lady is a ma'zoor. She has to take wudhu for every Salaat time. Her wudhu will end with the expiry of the Salaat time. Wudhu for Asr and Maghrib may not be combined. When Asr time expires, she will have to make wudhu with the entry of Maghrib time. She may handle and recite the Qur'aan Majeed with her wudhu. If her health does not allow her to fast, and if she has no hope of recovery to enable her to make qadha of the missed fasts, then she should pay Fidyah.
