Question:
If the term "hand" is used in the Book and the Sunnah? Yes. He says: May Allah reward you. If the term "hand" is used in the Book and the Sunnah, does it refer only to the palm, or does it refer to the entire hand?
Answer:
In the ablution, Allah specified[Al-Ma'idah 5:6] If He had said, "Wash only your hands," it would have referred to the palm. But since He said "to the elbows," it is necessary to wash the forearms based on the text of the verse. So, if "hand" is used without qualification, it refers to the palm. However, if it is qualified, such as "to the elbows," it is restricted accordingly. In dry ablution, it is said to wipe the face and the hands. What is meant by "hands" in dry ablution? The palms. One wipes his face and his hands. It does not say "to the elbows," so it is restricted to the palms only. Whereas in the ablution, it says "to the elbows." Yes.
