What is the ruling on interlacing the fingers during wudu'?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is interlacing the fingers obligatory?
Answer:
Yes.
Q: It was mentioned that it is among the recommended practices?
A: It is a command from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). If one fears that the water will not reach, he must interlace his fingers. However, if he is certain that the water reaches, interlacing becomes recommended. Interlacing between the fingers means it is recommended if the water reaches. But if the water does not reach, interlacing is obligatory.
Q: Did you state it absolutely here?
A: That is an error. It is necessary to distinguish; because sometimes the fingers are close together, and there may be things between them, so interlacing is necessary, especially for the fingers of the feet. It may also occur with the fingers of the hands, where there might be something between them. But if they are sound, there is no harm, and it becomes recommended.
