What is the ruling on the wudu of one who inserts a wet finger into his nose without drawing water in during the inhalation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: Some people are afraid of the inhalation (istishnaq) or do not know how to do it properly, so they settle for inserting a wet finger into the nostril without drawing the water in. Is this correct and sufficient?

Answer:
This is ignorance on their part. This is ignorance on their part. It is not permissible. This is not inhalation; rather, this is wiping. Wiping the nose is not sufficient. One must perform the inhalation, which is drawing the water in with the nose and expelling it with the nose. Yes. So this is not inhalation. On this basis, the wudu of one who does this is not valid. This is the result of ignorance or haste in scholarly matters without thought, without insight.
