Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the brothers is suffering from nasal allergies and finds it difficult to perform istinshaq. He says: Is it sufficient for me to wet my fingers with water and insert them into my nose?
Answer:
If it causes him pain, he should perform tayammum and not expose it to water if water harms him.
Q: But is it possible for him to insert his fingers?
The Shaykh: No, touching does not suffice; istinshaq with water is necessary. However, if he is unable to do so, he should perform tayammum. After completing his wudu', he should perform tayammum with the intention of covering the nose, if water harms him.
