Salaams I recently got into an accident which has resulted in me being a paraplegic, i.e. I cannot use my leg muscles, more specifically I cannot feel my muscles from my chest down. When I have to sleep, I can sleep on my either sides and on my back but I have to change my position every two hours because I can develop an open pressure sore. My bones push down against my skin and stop the blood flow which results in the bones pushing out of my skin. When I sleep on the side I can develop sores on my heels, my knees and my hips? but if I lie down on my stomach and put pillows underneath me I can sleep for virtually as long as I want. Would it still be considered makrooh or haram? in addition, I cannot control my urine so if I urinate between the times I empty my bladder should I do ghusl everytime? 3) I am on a wheelchair therefore I don’t put my feet on the ground. Do I still have to wash my feet during wudu because It is difficult for me to do so?
It will not be Makrooh if you sleep on your stomach when you are in this state. You will still have to wash your feet because that is a farz act in wudhu. If you find it difficult it is advisable that you take assistance or else if it is easier than you should put your feet in a bowl of water.
If you cannot control your urine then it is advisable if a diaper is worn. Whatever part the urine touches, wash, perform istinja and make ablution. To make ghusl will not be necessary.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
