How to Perform Sniffing Water During Ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We ask about the method of sniffing water during ablution. Is it sufficient to push water into the nose without actually inhaling it, meaning without the act of sniffing?
Answer:
Sniffing water is drawing water from the nose into the interior. One must use the breath to draw the water in. If one does not draw it in, it will not go into the inside of the nose; it will only remain on the surface. Water does not enter the nose except by the breath that draws it in. This is what sniffing means: using the breath to draw the water in. It is not sufficient to merely place water at the entrance of the nose, for it will not reach the back of the nose. Yes.
