Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 16
عَنْهُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ كُلَيْبٍ اَلْأَسَدِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ إِذَا كَانَ كَسِيراً كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ بِالصَّلاَةِ قَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ يَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَلْيَمْسَحْ عَلَى جَبَائِرِهِ وَ لْيُصَلِّ».
Fadalah narrated from Kulayb Al-Asadi, who said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام about a man who has a fracture - how should he perform his (ablution for) prayers? Imam عليه السلام said: "If he fears harm to himself, then he should wipe over his bandages and pray."
