The ruling on beginning with the right hand in ablution and wiping the head with the excess water
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He began with all matters.
The Shaykh:
No, no, it is a recommended practice (sunnah), because the verse commanded washing the hands and the feet and did not command giving priority to the right, yes. No, so that is the rule always, yes.
The questioner:
If there is no water for the head.
The Shaykh:
Does ablution suffice if one wipes the head with the excess water? It does not suffice.
The questioner:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Shaykh:
So if he wipes the ears with the excess from the head, it is valid, because the ears are part of the head, and it is one head, yes.
