Question

(Questioner) says: "A man had his leg amputated from below the knee due to a car accident, the doctors set for him a synthetic leg in its place. Is it obligatory upon him to wash or wipe the synthetic leg during Wudu (ablution)?

Sheikh Saleh Al-Luhaydan

No, the synthetic leg does not have any ruling related to it, so nothing of this (i.e. washing/wiping) is obligatory upon him.
