Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What comes first in tayammum, wiping the face or the hands?
Answer:
Wipe the face first, then wipe your faces and your hands. Allah, Exalted and Majestic, mentioned the face before the hands. As for the hadith that he wiped with his two hands and his face, the conjunction "and" does not imply order; it is only for conjunction and does not imply order. Therefore, it is to be understood in light of the verse: "So wipe your faces and your hands." He begins with the face. What Allah began with in His mention, one begins with in action. His saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1218a

أبدأ بما بدأ الله به
