If the enquirer is unable to move the fingers of his left hand, he should perform to the best of his ability, because the inability to move the fingers does not prevent placing the hand on the ground and wiping with it. He can also use his right hand for assistance. If he is unable to perform tayammum and finds someone who can perform it for him for a customary fee, then he is obligated to do so. Otherwise, he should pray according to his condition.
