Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, how does a believer lengthen his forehead in wudu', as mentioned in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him)?
Answer:
The believer washes his face as Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) commanded. Its length is from the usual hairline of the head to where the beard and chin descend. Its width is from ear to ear, which is the face. As for lengthening the forehead and the feet, this is an addition by the narrator, Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), and it was not reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
