Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, exaggeration in sniffing water and blowing it out is disliked for the fasting person. What is meant by that?
The Shaykh:
No, exaggeration is the sniffing, that is what is in the hadith. As for blowing it out, yes.
The questioner:
What is meant by exaggeration? Is it increasing the number beyond three times, or increasing the amount of water drawn in?
The Shaykh:
The intended meaning of exaggeration in sniffing water is increasing the force of the draw, drawing the water into the nose. He does not sniff it in with force, lest it fly up to his throat. Yes.
