What is the validity of the wudu' of one who washes his hands from the wrists to the elbows, relying on washing his palms at the beginning of the wudu'?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the issue of wudu', specifically the washing of the hands, Shaykh Ahmad holds that it is obligatory to wash them from the tips of the fingers to the elbows. He said this because the hand, in language, is defined this way. Because some people nowadays, when they wash their hands, do they start from the wrist?
The Shaykh : Like this?
The questioner : No, our Shaykh, they are content with the fact that the first time he washed it three times, so the second time they start from here and bring the water to here! He says that is a mistake; it is necessary to bring it from here as well!
The Shaykh : When he wants to take it, he has to do it like this!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He has to wash it.
The questioner : So he says: It is necessary to pass it over your entire hand.
The Shaykh : Ah, the whole thing.
