The ruling on passing the fingers through the beard and between the fingers during ablution

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the correct view regarding passing the fingers through the beard and between the fingers during ablution?

Answer:
It is a recommended practice (sunnah). Passing the fingers through the beard during ablution is a recommended practice (sunnah), by inserting his fingers, wet with water, into the beard, into the hair of the beard, if the beard is thick, meaning it covers the skin. If the beard is light, it is washed, and what is underneath it is washed. This applies to the thick beard that covers the skin; its exterior must be washed, because it is part of the face, and its interior is passed through with fingers wet with water.
This is a recommended practice (sunnah). Washing its exterior is obligatory, and passing the fingers through its interior is a recommended practice (sunnah). As for the fingers, water must cover the entire hand, but he passes his fingers through them to ensure that water reaches between the fingers, to be certain. However, if he knows that water did not reach between the fingers, his ablution is not valid. Yes.
