The limit of exaggeration in sniffing water

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is there a limit to sniffing water, or is it necessary for the water to reach the throat?

Answer:
No, it is not necessary for the water to reach the throat. He draws the water into his nose and expels it, and he does not swallow it. What is required of him is that the water reaches his throat, yes. This is a practical matter. However, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it out of fear that it might go into his throat. Yes.
