The ruling on letting water reach the eyes during wudu'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on letting water reach the eyes during wudu'? Is this reported from the Salaf?
Answer:
This is disliked. It is sufficient for the water to be in the eye, because this harms the eyes, and it was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This is an act of excessive effort for which Allah has not sent down any authority. Also, it harms the eyes. It has been reported that some of those who used this practice went blind in their final days. Yes.
