Is it possible to make wudu with Kinesiology Tapes?
I am a physiotherapist. For some of our patients, we use kinesio tape (pain tape) to reduce pain or support muscles. I do not know the water permeability status of the tapes. I cannot inform our patients who will take ablution, so I wanted to consult you. What should I do in this situation? Since it is not an essential treatment, should I not use it on those areas, or is it okay to make ablution over the bands?
There is a license for a tape that the specialist says "it is necessary for treatment and there is no alternative". As long as there is a license, there is no harm in not WASHING in ablution and similar washing situations.
