What is the ruling on rubbing in the full ritual bath and the ablution?

Question:
Rubbing in the full ritual bath and the ablution?

Answer:
Yes, rubbing is recommended, not obligatory. It is reported in some hadiths that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to rub his arms (peace and blessings be upon him). So there is nothing wrong with rubbing, as it is a recommended practice. However, the predominant practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not involve rubbing; he would simply let the water pass over the body, as this is more comfortable for the Muslims. Therefore, letting the water pass over is sufficient, and if there is a need for rubbing, there is nothing wrong with it.
Q: Is it the same in the full ritual bath?
A: Yes, in the full ritual bath as well, if the water passes over the entire body, that is sufficient. If he finds things that require rubbing, he should rub them, such as a place with clay, dough, or other substances that need to be removed; he should rub them until they are gone.
