What is the method for performing ablution if there is a sutured wound on the palm of the right hand covered with a bandage, with only the fingers exposed, and it is not possible to wash the injured hand or use it to carry water to wash the left hand, and it is only possible to wipe the right hand with the left?

It is sufficient for you to wipe over the splint placed on the right palm, and wash what is visible from the fingertips. Wiping over the splint is permissible when it is difficult to wash the injured limb or for fear of harm by removing it. You should wash the part of the right hand above the palm up to the elbow, and similarly, the left hand by placing it under the faucet. There is no harm in omitting rubbing, as it is a and not an obligation.
