When is it to be done to rinse the beard hair with water during wudu, is it to be done at the end of the wudu?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: When is it to be done to rinse the beard hair with water? And is it permissible to rinse it at the end of the wudu if he forgot to rinse it?

Answer:
No, he rinses it with the face, and this is a recommended practice (sunnah). If he did not rinse it, his wudu is valid if it is thick and covers what is behind it, whereas washing its exterior is obligatory (fard) because it is part of the face.
