The ruling on leaving out the washing of the palms when washing the hands in wudu'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh! Some people perform wudu', and when they reach the washing of the hands, they do not include the palms in the washing. Is the wudu' valid?

Answer:
Yes, they must include them in the washing. Because the first washing before starting the wudu'—this is a recommended practice (sunnah) or obligatory for the one who has slept through the night—it is a recommended practice or obligatory in itself. So it is necessary to wash them from the tips of the fingers to beyond the elbows, up to where the upper arm begins. Yes.
