Is it required to wash the palms when washing the hands up to the elbows?

Question:
The Shaykh says: Finally, when washing the hands up to the elbows in wudu', is it obligatory to wash the palms along with them?

Answer:
Washing the palms at the beginning of wudu' is a recommended practice (sunnah); one starts with the palms and washes them. Beginning with them is a recommended practice (sunnah), but washing them is obligatory (fard). One does not leave them without washing. He washes from the tips of his fingers to beyond the elbows with a complete washing. Yes.
