Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is combing the beard with water during wudu' obligatory or a recommended practice? And likewise during ghusl.
Answer:
As we mentioned to you, the water must reach the skin, but if the beard is thick, washing the outside of it is sufficient, and it is recommended to comb the inside of it. However, if the beard is thin and the skin is visible through it, it is obligatory to wash it along with what is underneath it. Yes.
