The ruling on exaggerating in washing the hands during ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on Abu Hurayrah’s (exaggeration in washing the hands) if one of them did it?
Answer:
What appears to me is that it is a religious innovation; because a thing that has no basis, the fact that a Companion exerted his judgment... does not constitute a proof, such as Ibn 'Umar’s action in taking what exceeded a handful from the beard, and Ibn 'Umar’s action in washing his eyes, [Al-Nisa:59], this is general, except for what came from the Rightly Guided Caliphs, which is from the Sunnah if it does not contradict an explicit, authentic Sunnah.
