Is it permissible for a woman to wash her elderly father who is capable of movement?
A woman may wash her elderly father if he covers the area between his navel and his knee. She is not permitted to touch the area between his navel and his knee, because it is a man's awrah (private part that must be covered), and it is not permissible to look at or touch it.
