Washing the elbows and the ankles in the ablution

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Honorable Shaykh says: If you anticipate it, it is prescribed for me to wash my hands until I begin the section. Jawaa. If I perform the ablution, it is prescribed for me to wash my hands until I begin the appendix, and to wash my hands until I begin the return, and always I abstain from you that the water has reached the limbs of the faces.

Answer:
This has been mentioned in the hadiths that the elbows are washed with the forearms and that the ankles are washed with the feet, because they are included in the intended scope, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would circulate water over his elbows and wash his feet with the ankles. So the ankles and the elbows are included in the limbs of the ablution, but something of the upper arm or something of the lower leg, this is not mentioned. Yes.
