The Ruling on Omitting Gargling and Sniffing Water in Ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say that gargling and sniffing water are obligatory acts of ablution. If one omits them, from which school of thought?
Answer:
The one who holds that gargling and sniffing water are part of washing the face, yes, they are part of the ablution, and whoever omits them must repeat the ablution. As for the school of thought that considers them recommended practices, it does not require repeating the ablution if gargling and sniffing water are omitted. However, the stronger position is the first one, as it appears from the evidence.
