How to Wash the Beard in Ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first and second questions of Fatwa No. ( 20769 )
Q1: You said in the chapter on ablution: that for a thick beard, it is sufficient to pass water over it , and for a thin beard, it is better to comb the water through it. I ask you, O Shaykh, to clarify this.
A1: If the beard is thick such that the skin is not visible from
behind it, then it is sufficient to wash its outer surface with water, and it is better to comb the water through it and reach the roots of the hair. As for if the beard is thin such that the skin is visible from behind it, then it is obligatory to reach the water to the roots of the hair.
