The ruling on exaggerating in sniffing water for one who has nasal sensitivity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man has sensitivity in his nose, and when he sniffs water during wudu', blood comes out of his nose. What is required of him? And what should he do when he wants to perform wudu'? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
Sniffing water is obligatory, because it is part of washing the face. He should sniff, but he should not exaggerate. If exaggerating causes him harm, he should not exaggerate in sniffing; rather, he should sniff as a fasting person sniffs. A fasting person sniffs but does not exaggerate in sniffing, so that the water does not fly into his throat. Likewise, the one who fears that his nose will be affected if he exaggerates in sniffing should sniff without exaggeration, or with gentleness, or with gentleness. As for leaving off the sniffing, it is not permissible except if there is a necessary barrier to sniffing. As for merely the fact that blood or some blood comes out, that does not cause harm.
