Earlobes not part of face in ablution
Assalaamu alaykum. Thanks a lot for all your answers. I asked for the definition of the face in the context of ablution, but the fatwa that you referred me to did not specifically answer my question. My question is: how much of the face shouldbe washed horizontally? I came to know that this should be done from earlobe to earlobe. Does this mean that.. More

Using right hand to clean nose during ablution
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. Is it forbidden or disliked to use the right hand for cleaning one's nose during ablution? And is it only for ablution that one should use the left hand when cleaning one's nose, or should that also be done outside ablution? May Allaah reward you, Shaykh.

Applying petroleum jelly, oil, or cream before ablution
I have read your fatwas on ablution and the application of creams, oils, and so on, but I would prefer a personal answer because of the specific nature of my question. When we apply petroleum jelly, oil, or cream on our face and hands, it does not really form a layer that does not allow water to run off or has to be scraped clean. So does this mean.. More

How to wash ears in ablution
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. I have questions related to ablution: 1. Before wiping the head in ablution, does one need to wash his hands or can one just wipe it without washing hands after having washed the arms? 2. How is one to wipe his ears; the inside is the inside part where one enters his finger in order to clean.. More

Saying ‘Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem' instead of just ‘Bismillaah’
I wanted to ask wether one is allowed to say, "Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Raheem" instead of "Bismillah" before performing ablution. I read that according to Ibn Taymiyah and other scholars that it is fine to say the whole word before eating, so I am wondering whether this is applicable to the ablution as well. May Allaah bless you.

Washing in Ghusl and Wudhoo'
What is the definition of washing in wudu (ablution) and ghusl (bath taken in state of major ritual impurity). I read that it means 'to let waterflowover the limb'. What exactly does this mean? Does it mean that you have to let water flow on each and every part of the limb, or does it mean that you must let water flow over the limb once, that any part.. More

Wiping ears in wudhoo is Sunnah
Assalaamu alaykum. Sometimes, when I wipe the back of my ears with my thumbs in wudoo (ablution), my thumb does not cover all of the back of my earlobes. Is my wudoo still valid, or do I have to make sure that I wipe every small part of the back of my ear when I do wudoo.

Validity of ablution with hair fiber spray
Assalaamu alaykum. Shaykh, there is a product on the market by the name of hair fiber that covers the area of the head that is bald or has thin hair. Is one's ablution correct after applying this product? Please, I do not know how it works. Maybe you are aware of it as it is a famous product. May Allaah reward you.

Washing face four times does not affect validity of ablution
Assalaamu alaykum. If a person has been wiping his face as he knew it as a part of wiping the head (so he was wiping the face a fourth time), does it invalidate his ablution? He did not know that only the head had to be wiped. If it does invlidate the ablution, does he have to repeat all the prayers (obligatory and voluntary)? I was asked to resend.. More

Color of henna (mehndi) does not invalidate wudhoo and ghusl
Assalaamu alaykum. I want to apply mehndi (henna) to my hands. However, only chemical mehndi is readily available in the market, and my friend says that wudu (ablution) or ghusl (major ablution) is not right as long I have the color of chemical mehndi on my hands. Is she right?

Ruling on Madhmadhah and Istinshaaq and wiping the ears during the ablution
Assalaamu alaykum, can you give me the arguments from the scholars, past and present, who say that rinsing the mouth, nose, and ears during ablution is only a sunnah? And likewise for those who state it as obligatory?

Wudhoo’ of a person who has skin cracks
I am suffering from a dermatological disease in my feet causing parts of the skin, especially under the toes, to protrude and partly separate from the rest of the skin. Knowing that this is very difficult, is it obligatory to make the water reach under these parts? To avoid doubt, I depend on pouring a large amount of water, in order to make sure that.. More

Prayers and ‘Umrah performed without wiping the ears in Wudhoo’
I am 28 years old. I often used to perform Wudhoo’ (ablution) without wiping my ears with water because I had heard that wiping the ears is a recommended Sunnah and not an obligation. Recently, I came to know that it is an obligation since the ears are part of the head. What is the sharia-ruling on my past prayers, Hajj and ‘Umrah?
