Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it said that Rafi'a's hadith contains ambiguity in its statement: regarding gargling and sniffing?
The Shaykh : Gargling and sniffing, my man, are included in washing the face. Is your nose in the back of your head? Answer?
The questioner : No.
The Shaykh : And your mouth?
The questioner : Yes, that is so.
The Shaykh : That is also included in this, and the nose and mouth are included in the ruling of the external parts. Therefore, if a person gargles while fasting, his fast is not invalidated.
The questioner : But, Shaykh... sniffing and blowing out the nose...
The Shaykh : are included in washing the face. We have no doubt about this, and there is no need to specify them explicitly. This is why, when the jurists mentioned washing the face, they said, "and included in it are gargling and sniffing." How... five minutes.
