I suffer from nasal allergies, so how do I perform istinshaq (sniffing water into the nose) during wudu?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I suffer from nasal allergies, and the allergy does not allow me to sniff water into my nose during wudu. That is, if water enters the nose, the allergy worsens. How should I perform wudu?

Answer:
First, go to a doctor to have it treated. First, go to a doctor; Allah has not sent down a disease without sending down a cure for it. Go to the doctor and have it treated. Second, if the water affects you, do not exaggerate in the istinshaq; that is, reduce the amount of water you sniff in. And if you are completely unable to get water into your nose, perform tayammum. Perform wudu and perform tayammum in place of the istinshaq. Yes.
